In JDBC, the methods execute, executeQuery, and executeUpdate are used to execute SQL statements, and the differences between them are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The execute method executes any type of SQL statement and returns a boolean value indicating whether a result set was returned. If the SQL statement is a DDL statement or a statement that returns multiple result sets, the return value is true. If the SQL statement is an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement, the return value is false.<\/li>\n
  2. The executeQuery method executes a SELECT statement and returns a ResultSet object that contains the query results.<\/li>\n
  3. The executeUpdate method is used to execute INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements, and it returns an integer value indicating the number of affected rows.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In summary, the execute method can run any type of SQL statement, the executeQuery method is used for executing SELECT statements and returning a result set, and the executeUpdate method is used for executing INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements and returning the number of affected rows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
