Question

I’m using JDBC, I have to set array of values to a single column,
I know it works in Hibernate and Ibatis but it seems to be hard to get it working Pure JDBC sql.

I have an array of String values

names[] = new String[]{"A","B","C"};

and a Query like

select * from emp where name in(?)

I tried pstmt.setObject(1,names), it is not working..

This is not supported in pure JDBC. You have to generate a query so that the in clause contains one placeholder for each element of the array.

Spring’s JDBC helper classes support named parameters and what you want to do.
