How to set character to a prepared statement?

Answer 1

The JDBC Specification 4.0 in Appendix B (Data Type Conversion Tables) states the following conversions:

This table also shows the conversions used by the SQLInput reader methods, except that they use only the recommended conversions.

 JDBC Type              Java Type ------------------------------------------- CHAR                   String VARCHAR                String LONGVARCHAR            String NUMERIC                java.math.BigDecimal DECIMAL                java.math.BigDecimal BIT                    boolean BOOLEAN                boolean TINYINT                byte SMALLINT               short 

TABLE B- 1  JDBC Types Mapped to Java Types

Therefore PreparedStatement.setString(1, String.valueOf(myChar)) should do the trick.
