Choose between the Statement, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement interfaces; it depends on how you plan to use the interface. The Statement interface is optimized for a single execution of an SQL statement, while the PreparedStatement object is optimized for SQL statements that will be executed multiple times, and CallableStatement is generally preferred for executing stored procedures:

• Statement: The PreparedStatement is used to execute normal SQL queries. It is preferred when a particular SQL query is to be executed only once. The performance of this interface is very low.

• PreparedStatement: The PreparedStatement interface is used to execute parametrized or dynamic SQL queries. It is preferred when a particular query is to be executed multiple times. The performance of this interface is better than the Statement interface (when used for multiple executions of the same query).
• CallableStatement: The CallableStatement interface is preferred when the stored procedures are to be executed. The performance of this interface is high.
