PreparedStatement and IN clause

Hello All ,

I have to write a SQL for a PreparedStatement which has the IN keyword in the where clause.The number of parameters which go into IN is decided dynamically.

i can find out the number of parameters at runtime.Can i insert those specific number of ? in the SQL, prepare the SQL , set the values , and then execute the PreparedStatement ?

i am using Oracle 9i and jdbc 2.0

thanks,

Srinivas

of course you can.

you lose a little of the advantages (statement caching) of the prepared statement, but gain on not needing to worry about escape codes, number format etc.
