Bob Byron and Troy Thompson: Overpower the PreparedStatement
Many Java programs' success depends on an optimized method of accessing a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) database known as a PreparedStatement. Debugging such statements can prove troublesome because you cannot retrieve a PreparedStatement's command or any of its associated parameters. In this article, Bob Byron and Troy Thompson show how to save debugging time by using a few strategic classes. Most importantly, you need to change just three lines of code.
Java developers, if you have a cool presentation by using hot Java technologies, send an email to Bob Byron, please! You are our next show!
Congratulations to our newest SCJDs! See list of names and scores here!
