Question

My statement:

statement.addBatch("START TRANSACTION;" +
                "UPDATE FIRST_TABLE SET FIRST_FIELD = 1;" +
                "UPDATE SECOND_TABLE SET SECOND_FIELD = 2;" +
                "UPDATE THIRD_TABLE SET THIRD_FIELD = 3;" +
                "COMMIT;");

And exception throws in next line:

statement.executeBatch();

The same thing happens if I use the method execute:

statement.execute(myTransaction);

The exception:

java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

I use Oracle. I don’t have any exception if I execute this statement in command line or SQL IDE. It works properly in this case. There is this exception only in java code. What is wrong?

Answer 1

Try,

connection.setAutoCommit(false);
statement.addBatch("UPDATE FIRST_TABLE SET FIRST_FIELD = 1");
statement.addBatch("UPDATE SECOND_TABLE SET SECOND_FIELD = 2");
statement.addBatch("UPDATE THIRD_TABLE SET THIRD_FIELD = 3");
int [] counts = statement.executeBatch();
connection.commit();
