MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Explain the difference between JDBC Statement and PreparedStatement, and how you would parse and use the returned results from a query.

Output

  1. One row per returned query result row.
  2. Columns: result_id, sql_text, row_count, status, parsed_value.
  3. Ignore rows where status is NULL.
  4. Sort by result_id ascending.
