Is it possible or not?

Hi
I have a vector of vectors
now each vector element of the parent vector contains a record
i want that all vector elements .i.e records shud be inserted into database at one go I mean
Is it possible to insert multiple records at same time
because insert statement inserts only one record at a time
and statement only will insert one record at a time
and on submit of form i want all records to be inserted
Can anyone pls throw some light on it
Thankx in advance

See java.sql.Statement.addBatch(), java.sql.Statement.executeBatch().

HI peter
thnkx for ur reply
but in my case i hvae to use same statement for inserting records in the db
and unless we commit first insert we cannot insert next statement
as it locks the row in which we intend to insert
i hope u get wht i m trying to explain

Sorry, but I do not quite get it. All the inserts are part of the same transaction, so the locks you acquire are irrelevant.
Anyway, addBatch() is AFAIK the only way to efficiently execute a batch of statements in JDBC.

i too have the same problem,
i want to insert a number og records from a table into another table.

"stucko stuck",

We're pleased to have you here with us on the Ranch, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

how about insert as select.

Peter den Haan did replied to this query a couple of years back and he was right.I dont know what you meant by

Gaurav,
Most databases allow a statement like this:

It lets you insert data into a table directly from another query.

But here we were talking about using JDBC and not using DML statements in some databases.I am sure DB2 doesn't allow it
Never mind Thanks for remark

Gaurav,
You can do anything in JDBC that the underlying database lets you do in DML. (given that it isn't portable.)

I think you are correct that db2 doesn't support it though.

I just replied to stucko stuck's question. I dont know why that mate didn't make a new thread.

anyways, sorry for confusion.
thanks
