[Humor] Excerpts from HER & HIS Diaries

HER DIARY I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing." I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry. On the way home, I told him that I loved him, but he simply smiled and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you too." When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant and absent. Finally, I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed. I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried until I fell asleep. I do not know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster. HIS DIARY Today India lost the cricket match again. DAMM IT.

JDBC Performance Pointers

Here are a few of the JDBC Performance pointers. Hopefully, there are a lot more, which you may be aware of, but not mentioned here. Care to share them as well? Get database connection from connection pool rather than getting it directly Use batch transactions. Choose right isolation level as per your requirement. TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED gives best performance for concurrent transaction based applications. TRANSACTION_NONE gives best performance for non-concurrent transaction based applications. Your database server may not support all isolation levels, be aware of your database server features. Use PreparedStatement when you execute the same statement more than once. Use CallableStatement when you want result from multiple and complex statements for a single request. Use batch update facility available in Statements. Use batch retrieval facility available in Statements or ResultSet. Set up proper direction for processing rows. Use proper getXXX() methods. Close ResultSet, Statemen...
