Does JDBC have support for Bulk copy utilities provided by RDBMS products.
Created May 4, 2012
There are some possibilities ( untried. )
From the The JDBC 1.2 Specification: "JDBC allows any query string to be passed through to an underlying DBMS driver." So, in theory, a JDBC driver could apply the passed string to a bulk load utility. I'm not aware of any that do this and it would be far from standard.
Some databases MAY allow utilities to be called from a stored procedure, so a standard call would work in this case. In the same vein, some databases allow creation of user defined functions that may be used in the same way.
An alternative available with JDBC 2.0 compliant drivers is batch updates, which "allows multiple update operations to be submitted to a database for processing at once." ( JDBC 2.0 specification. )
