How effective is executeBatch on a Prepared Statement?

Question

Subject to this question, asks it all:How effective is executeBatch method? Is there a performance benchmark, that says.. \'if you have 1000 records to be inserted, using a exec

Answer 1

In my experience, it is significantly faster - even if you are inserting/updating just a few records at a time. If you are doing more than one update, I would almost always recommend batching them if it makes sense.

That said, you'd have to do some actual testing to figure out the performance improvement for your particular situation.
