Connection and Statement

[Johnson Tmmet]

Hi,
I have a question.
I have to insert 5 records in a database.
I get the connection from datasource and create the preparedStatement.
My question is, is it good to use one Connection and preparedStatement to insert all the 5 records or
do I have to get the connection using ds.getConnection() and preparedStatement for each insert?
Which one would be better in performance?
Please note that I don't want to use executebatch() for this.

Thanks in advance,

Yes.

Please note that I don't want to use executebatch() for this.

Why not?

"Johnson kkkk",

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. 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!

Biggest reason I can think of is that if one statement in a batch fails, all statements are rolled back.
