You may want to use setArray method as mentioned in the javadoc below   http   docs oracle com javase 6 docs api java sql PreparedStatement html setArray int  java sql Array    Sample Code   PreparedStatement pstmt                    conn prepareStatement  select   from employee where id in        Array array   conn createArrayOf  VARCHAR   new Object    1    2   3     pstmt setArray 1  array   ResultSet rs   pstmt executeQuery

JulienD Best way is to break above process into two steps   Step 1    Lets say  rawList  as your list that you want to add as parameters in prepared statement   Create another list     ArrayList lt String gt  listWithQuotes   new ArrayList lt String gt      for String element   rawList       listWithQuotes add     element           Step 2    Make  listWithQuotes  comma separated   String finalString   StringUtils join listWithQuotes iterator            finalString  will be string parameters with each element as single quoted and comma separated

If you have ArrayList then convert into Array Object   ArrayList lt String gt  list   new ArrayList lt String gt     PreparedStatement pstmt                conn prepareStatement  select   from employee where id in        Array array   conn createArrayOf  VARCHAR   list toArray     pstmt setArray 1  array   ResultSet rs   pstmt executeQuery
