I have been trying to find how to set a property for a derby connection to
have a prepared statement perform several INSERT queries.
it was suggested that this may be possible.

Are you trying to execute multiple statements with a single sql string? If so, have you activated the "allow multiple statements" property?

I have not found anything that would show me how to do this.
Can anyone show some info on how to run many INSERT queries in one prepared statement of an idea on the most efficient means to do so.
thanks

Sorry about that. That was a MySQL Connection URL property "allowMultiQueries".

From what I saw of your thread, you would be better off using Stement and the addBatch(String) method.

Hello
I have not looked at addBatch() or callable proceedures yet I had these done and though not

conventional methods I suppose
It presented the question of why is there only one result when the table has 2 records?
see output code
output

run:
driver tableName from xml: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver

inserted data int: insertUserGroupMappingTable
CONECTION IS GOOD FOR A TEST
test string query: SELECT * FROM student

[b]
Why only one output ?: sj

[/b]

additionally,
will it be possible to write everything differnt later to simply put many statements as a

string in one

<entry key="easier cdata string for a batch()??">
INSERT INTO x VALUES(etc,etc)
INSERT INTO x VALUES(etc,etc)
INSERT INTO x VALUES(etc,etc)
INSERT INTO x VALUES(etc,etc)
</entyr>

as so? or can the way I did it be suitable?
What is more conventional so as to be able to create stmts that can be used globally?
Thanks
class that is passed the string to access the xml.properties and insert initial data
so I can use it for now

To do the addBatch simply do addBatch rather than execute and then include an if statement inside the for loop so that you can for, say, every 500 statements do executeBatch (i.e. if ((i % 500) == 0)). Also, as to why you only see one result, it is because you are only checking for one row. You are doing if(rs.next()) when you should be doing while(rs.next())
