Hi Rémi,

After creating the Prepared Statement you can do a
ResultSetMetaData.getMetaData() which returns an object containing the
data types of the columns in your select list.
Then for each column in your "where" clause you can obtain its data
type and then do setLong, setString, setTimeStamp or whatever,
according to its type. Then do the "execute" to obtain the actual
result set.

HTH,
Rob
