PreparedStatement with Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS

The only way that some JDBC drivers to return Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS is to do something of the following:

long key = -1L;
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(YOUR_SQL_HERE, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ResultSet rs = statement.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs != null && rs.next()) {
	key = rs.getLong(1);
}

Is there a way to do the same with PreparedStatement?

---

Edit

The reason I asked if I can do the same with PreparedStatement consider the following scenario:

private static final String SQL_CREATE = 
            "INSERT INTO
            USER(FIRST_NAME, MIDDLE_NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL_ADDRESS, DOB) 
            VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";

In the USER table there's a PRIMARY KEY (USER_ID) which is a BIGINT AUTOINCREMENT (hence why you don't see it in the SQL_CREATE String.

Now, I populate the ? using PreparedStatement.setXXXX(index, value). I want to return ResultSet rs = PreparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys(). How can I achieve this?

You can either use the prepareStatement method taking an additional int parameter

PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS)

For some JDBC drivers (for example, Oracle) you have to explicitly list the column names or indices of the generated keys:

PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql, new String[]{"USER_ID"})

You mean something like this?

long key = -1L;

PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(YOUR_SQL_HERE, PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
preparedStatement.setXXX(index, VALUE);
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();

ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys();

if (rs.next()) {
    key = rs.getLong(1);
}

Not having a compiler by me right now, I'll answer by asking a question:

Have you tried this? Does it work?

long key = -1L;
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(YOUR_SQL_HERE, PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ResultSet rs = statement.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs != null && rs.next()) {
    key = rs.getLong(1);
}

Disclaimer: Obviously, I haven't compiled this, but you get the idea.

PreparedStatement is a subinterface of Statement, so I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work, unless some JDBC drivers are buggy.

String query = "INSERT INTO ....";
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(query, PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);

preparedStatement.setXXX(1, VALUE); 
preparedStatement.setXXX(2, VALUE); 
....
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();  

ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys();  
int key = rs.next() ? rs.getInt(1) : 0;

if(key!=0){
    System.out.println("Generated key="+key);
}

private void alarmEventInsert(DriveDetail driveDetail, String vehicleRegNo, int organizationId) {

	final String ALARM_EVENT_INS_SQL = "INSERT INTO alarm_event (event_code,param1,param2,org_id,created_time) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)";
	CachedConnection conn = JDatabaseManager.getConnection();
	PreparedStatement ps = null;
	ResultSet generatedKeys = null;
	try {
		ps = conn.prepareStatement(ALARM_EVENT_INS_SQL, ps.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
		ps.setInt(1, driveDetail.getEventCode());
		ps.setString(2, vehicleRegNo);
		ps.setString(3, null);
		ps.setInt(4, organizationId);
		ps.setString(5, driveDetail.getCreateTime());
		ps.execute();
		generatedKeys = ps.getGeneratedKeys();
		if (generatedKeys.next()) {
			driveDetail.setStopDuration(generatedKeys.getInt(1));
        }
	} catch (SQLException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
		logger.error("Error inserting into alarm_event : {}", e
				.getMessage());
		logger.info(ps.toString());
	} finally {
		if (ps != null) {
			try {

				if (ps != null)
					ps.close();
			} catch (SQLException e) {
				logger.error("Error closing prepared statements : {}", e
						.getMessage());
			}
		}
	}
	JDatabaseManager.freeConnection(conn);
