Can I use same PreparedStatement multiple times?

Can a PreparedStatement be reused?

Reusing a PreparedStatement Once a PreparedStatement is prepared, it can be reused after execution. You reuse a PreparedStatement by setting new values for the parameters and then execute it again.

Which is better Statement or PreparedStatement?

PreparedStatement provides different types of setter methods to set the input parameters for the query. PreparedStatement is faster than Statement. It becomes more visible when we reuse the PreparedStatement or use it's batch processing methods for executing multiple queries.

Is PreparedStatement thread safe?

You should prepare only once, and cache the PreparedStatement in your application (it is thread-safe). If you call prepare multiple times with the same query string, the driver will log a warning. If you execute a query only once, a prepared statement is inefficient because it requires two roundtrips.

Is PreparedStatement faster?

In general, PreparedStatement provides better performance than Statement object because of the pre-compilation of SQL query on the database server. When you use PreparedStatement, the query is compiled the first time but after that it is cached at the database server, making subsequent run faster.
