Reusing a PreparedStatement

Question

I ran findbugs on our code base and it pointed out there are two more Statements that still need to be closed. In this section of the code we run:

preparedS         


        

Answer 1

Yes, the statement must be closed before you perform the next connection.prepareStatement. Otherwise, you're losing your reference to the un-closed previous one (aka leaking statements). Wrap a try {} finally {} around each statement use, closing it in the finally.
