Question

What deeper point about JDBC and Prepared Statements should a senior Java developer mention?

  1. At senior level, the right answer is that JDBC and Prepared Statements exists mostly for historical syntax reasons.
  2. At senior level, the JVM removes the tradeoffs around JDBC and Prepared Statements, so design choices barely matter.
  3. At senior level, any approach to JDBC and Prepared Statements is equally correct if it compiles and passes a small test.
  4. Good JDBC design also depends on transaction boundaries, batching strategy, result mapping, and connection management rather than only on the query text.

Hint

Look beyond syntax and explain the runtime, API, or design consequence.

Answer and rationale

Correct answer: D. Good JDBC design also depends on transaction boundaries, batching strategy, result mapping, and connection management rather than only on the query text.

Good JDBC design also depends on transaction boundaries, batching strategy, result mapping, and connection management rather than only on the query text. This is the kind of tradeoff-aware answer senior interviews usually expect.
