Thanx Mark, but what I actually wanted to know was....(Sorry I did not convey properly)
String query1="update table1 set field1 = ?, field2= ? where field3 ='"+someBeanInstance.getName()+"' and field4 = '"+someBeanInstance.getDesc()+"'"; String query2="update table1 set field1 = ?, field2 = ? where field3 = ? and field4=?; I wanted to know, if setting values in where clause directly rather than setting it in the PreparedStatement object has any adv/disadv? Is it better to always set the values in the PreparedStatement Object? Hope I have put across my doubt now.

After the first call on the prepared statement, all variables will be set for any subsequent calls. The nanosecond taken to set an additional couple of variables' values on the first call is negligible.
