In this tutorial we will learn how to Execute INSERT query(DML command) using java.sql.Statement's executeUpdate method in java.
java.sql.Statement's executeUpdate method can be used for executing INSERT queries and
executeUpdate method returns number of rows inserted
--Before executing java program execute these database scripts >
create table EMPLOYEE(ID number(4), NAME varchar2(22));
commit;
--If table already exists then execute the DROP command >
drop table EMPLOYEE;
Must read : java.sql.Statement - using executeUpdate and executeQuery methods CREATE, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE
Example/ Full Programs JDBC- Execute INSERT query using Statement's executeUpdate method in java
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class StatementInsertExample {
public static void main(String... arg) {
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
// registering Oracle driver class
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// getting connection
con = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl",
"ankit", "Oracle123");
System.out.println("Connection established successfully!");
stmt = con.createStatement();
//execute insert query
int numberOfRowsInserted=stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT into EMPLOYEE(ID,NAME)"
+ "values (1, 'ankit') ");
System.out.println("numberOfRowsInserted=" + numberOfRowsInserted);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try {
if(stmt!=null) stmt.close(); //close Statement
if(con!=null) con.close(); // close connection
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
/*OUTPUT
Connection established successfully!
numberOfRowsInserted=1
*/

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.
So, in this tutorial we learned how to Execute INSERT query(DML command) using java.sql.Statement's executeUpdate method in java.
