Return ROWID Parameter from insert statement using JDBC connection to oracle

Question

I can\'t seem to get the right magic combination to make this work:

OracleDataSource ods = new oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL(\"jdbc:oracle         


        

Answer 1

Usually you don't want to make code database dependent. Instead of OraclePreparedStatement, you should use CallableStatement.

CallableStatement statement = connection.prepareCall("{call INSERT INTO tableA (some_id) VALUES (1) RETURNING ROWID INTO ? }");
statement.registerOutParameter( 1, Types.VARCHAR );

int updateCount = statement.executeUpdate();
if (updateCount > 0) {
   return statement.getString(1);
}
