 If you have to update data in a data source by using a parameterized query, you can set the data type of the parameters by using one of the set\<Type> methods of the [SQLServerPreparedStatement](reference/sqlserverpreparedstatement-class.md) class, also known as the *setter methods*. In the following example, the [prepareStatement](reference/preparestatement-method-sqlserverconnection.md) method is used to pre-compile the parameterized query, and then the [setString](reference/setstring-method-sqlserverpreparedstatement.md) method is used to set the string value of the parameter before the [executeUpdate](reference/executeupdate-method.md) method is called.

 If you have to pass typed parameters into a stored procedure, you can set the parameters by index or name by using one of the set\<Type> methods of the [SQLServerCallableStatement](../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlservercallablestatement-class.md) class.
