Question

I want to send two different prepared statements in one single batch.

Currently I am doing this in two as you can see in the commented lines and it works, but that is not the main objective here. Can anyone tell me what to put in place of those comments to get this thing to work?

import java.lang.ClassNotFoundException;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Connection connection = null;
        PreparedStatement preparedStatementWithdraw = null;
        PreparedStatement preparedStatementDeposit = null;

        try
        {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/youtube", "root", "root");

            preparedStatementWithdraw = withdrawFromChecking(connection, preparedStatementWithdraw, new BigDecimal(100), 1);
            preparedStatementDeposit = depositIntoSaving(connection, preparedStatementDeposit, new BigDecimal(300), 1);

            //preparedStatementDeposit.executeBatch();
            //preparedStatementWithdraw.executeBatch();
            System.out.println("Account Modified!");
        }
        catch(ClassNotFoundException error)
        {
            System.out.println("Error: " + error.getMessage());
        }
        catch(SQLException error)
        {
            System.out.println("Error: " + error.getMessage());
        }
        finally
        {
            if(connection != null) try{connection.close();} catch(SQLException error) {}
            if(preparedStatementDeposit != null) try{preparedStatementDeposit.close();} catch(SQLException error) {}
        }
    }

    public static PreparedStatement withdrawFromChecking(Connection connection, PreparedStatement preparedStatement, BigDecimal balance, int id) throws SQLException
    {
        preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("UPDATE bankAccount SET checkingBalance = checkingBalance - ? WHERE id = ?");
        preparedStatement.setBigDecimal(1, balance);
        preparedStatement.setInt(2, id);
        preparedStatement.addBatch();

        return preparedStatement;
    }

    public static PreparedStatement depositIntoSaving(Connection connection, PreparedStatement preparedStatement, BigDecimal balance, int id) throws SQLException
    {
        preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("UPDATE bankAccount SET savingBalance = savingBalance + ? WHERE id = ?");
        preparedStatement.setBigDecimal(1, balance);
        preparedStatement.setInt(2, id);
        preparedStatement.addBatch();

        return preparedStatement;
    }
}

You cannot execute two different statements in a single batch. As @dan mentioned you can — and must — do them in a single transaction.

Another option is to use a stored procedure that can do it all in a single roundtrip to the server while maintaining the benefits of single transaction
