title: Considerations regarding addBatch(String)
body: <p>Next to the <code>addBatch()</code> method of <code>PreparedStatement</code> there is also an <code>addBatch(String)</code> method in the <code>Statement</code> class. </p>
  
  <p>I want to process a series of different sql statements and am looking for some clarification on what addBatch(String) means performance-wise. Is it safe (and fast) to use this method or is it better to group similar sql-statements in Java and execute them in groups?</p>
