    If you don’t want to read a value you should use executeNonQuery. It has nothing to do with efficiency. You should do it because that’s the correct way to do it. Using executeScalar here is just wrong.

    It’s probably also faster, but that’s not the point. If you are firing so many queries that this minor performance detail makes a difference something is wrong with your query.
