Hey. Tea Lovers! Today we will discuss batching and how to use batch in JDBC to insert huge data.
Before jumping in, I would suggest you look at my previous posts, " How to Achieve Greatness in JDBC Performance" and " JDBC Connection Pooling Explained with HikariCP". This will help you to further increase the performance along with reliability, maintainability, and flexibility.
Why use Batch Insertion Many of you have worked on some projects where you needed to insert a large amount of data into the database. I prefer just using plain JDBC for this kind of job to give the operation a significant boost. But inserting the record one by one as we do is a very slow process. We need to wait until the data of a single record goes to the database, insert happens and then over the network, an acknowledgment occurs, phew! Luckily in JDBC, we have batch operations. With this, we can insert the data in batches rather than one by one, giving a huge advantage.
