I'm not sure that you want to send two SELECT statements in one request statement because you may not be able to access both ResultSet
s. The database may only return the last result set.
Multiple ResultSets
However, if you're calling a stored procedure that you know can return multiple resultsets something like this will work
CallableStatement stmt = con.prepareCall(...);
try {
...
boolean results = stmt.execute();
while (results) {
ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
try {
while (rs.next()) {
// read the data
}
} finally {
try { rs.close(); } catch (Throwable ignore) {}
}
// are there anymore result sets?
results = stmt.getMoreResults();
}
} finally {
try { stmt.close(); } catch (Throwable ignore) {}
}
Multiple SQL Statements
If you're talking about multiple SQL statements and only one SELECT then your database should be able to support the one String
of SQL. For example I have used something like this on Sybase
StringBuffer sql = new StringBuffer( "SET rowcount 100" );
sql.append( " SELECT * FROM tbl_books ..." );
sql.append( " SET rowcount 0" );
stmt = conn.prepareStatement( sql.toString() );
This will depend on the syntax supported by your database. In this example note the addtional spaces
padding the statements so that there is white space between the staments.
