String Vs StringBuffer

[Reggie McDougal]

If creating a string with lots of data should I use a stringBuffre instead of the following...

  
 
String message = message ="mobile_phone_number:"+rs.getString("mobile_phone_number")+ENDL;
message = message+"Account Type:"+accType+ENDL;

Is there a better way of doing this if sh can some one give me some example code.

Your one line concatenations work fine as a String.

StringBuffer has the edge where you are building up a String out of many pieces, perhaps in a loop.

And StringBuffer has a big performance benefit too.
