title: SQL how to update table rows with one SQL statement
body: <p>I have a table with 2 columns for storing application settings in Oracle database. This is a just basic example:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fau9D.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>I want to create a java method which updates the values with prepared statement.</p>
  
  <p>Example code:</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATED CODE</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>public void updateDBSettings() throws SQLException {
  
  
              String SQL_Statement = null;
  
              if (ds == null) throw new SQLException();      
         Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
              if (conn == null) throw new SQLException();      
  
         try {
              conn.setAutoCommit(false);
              boolean committed = false;
                  try {
                         SQL_Statement = "UPDATE GLOBALSETTINGS SET (SettingName = ?, SettingValue = ?)";
  
                         PreparedStatement updateQuery = conn.prepareStatement(SQL_Statement);
                         updateQuery.setString(1, "20");
                         updateQuery.setString(2, "40");
  
                         updateQuery.executeQuery();
  
                         conn.commit();
                         committed = true;
                   } finally {
                         if (!committed) conn.rollback();
                         }
              }
                  finally {               
                  conn.close();
  
                  }  
  
         }

  <p>I know that this SQL statement is wrong. What is the proper way to write the SQL statement?</p>
  
  <p>Best wishes
  Peter</p>
