title: Spring JdbcTemplate execute vs update
body: <p>What is the difference between <code>execute(String sql)</code> and <code>update(String sql)</code> in <a href="http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/jdbc/core/JdbcTemplate.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>JdbcTemplate</code></a>?</p>
  
  <p>If my statement is a straight <code>CRUD</code> and not an object creation DDL (as the execute javadoc implies), does it make sense to use execute vs the seemingly more lightweight update?</p>
