Must Know :
By default connection is auto-commit, so all insert queries will be committed automatically by java connection.
(Must know : insert is a DML(Data Manipulation Language) command, queries are not committed automatically in database)
We may stop connection from doing auto-commits by setting auto-commit to false using > con.setAutoCommit(false);
Well in that we may commit transactions any time using con.commit();
Also, We may set connection back to default behavior of doing auto-commit by using > con.setAutoCommit(true) or simply using con.setAutoCommit();
But what will be benefit of using con.setAutoCommit(false)?
If any transaction goes wrong than we may halt execution further related transactions before calling con.commit() and call con.rollback() in catch block.
NOTE : Statement is suitable for executing DDL commands - create, drop, alter and truncate. This article demonstrates that Statement can also be used to serve the purpose.
We must prefer PreparedStatement, as it is suitable for executing DML commands - SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE.
