Type Conversions Supported by PreparedStatement Setter Methods 

The PreparedStatement interface provides setter methods that are used to substitute values for each parameter marker of the precompiled SQL string. The names of the methods follow the pattern "set<Type>". The following table defines the allowed setter methods for each of the supported JDBC types. An upper case X marks the recommended setter method for each JDBC type. The invocation of a non-supported (that is, not marked) setter method causes an SQL exception
