Which two statements describe Spring JdbcTemplate? (Choose two.)

The Spring JdbcTemplate class is the central class in the JDBC core package. It simplifies the use of JDBC and helps to avoid common errors. It executes SQL queries, update statements, and stored procedure calls, performing iteration over ResultSets and extraction of returned parameter values. It also translates the checked SQLExceptions from the JDBC API into a hierarchy of unchecked DataAccessExceptions, relieving the developer from handling specific database vendor error codes.

A. JdbcTemplate translates checked SQLExceptions into a hierarchy of unchecked DataAccessExceptions, so you are not required to handle SQLException directly.
C. The update method in JdbcTemplate can be used for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations, not just updates.
E. JdbcTemplate executes SQL statements that you provide; it does not generate them. SQL generation is a feature of ORM frameworks like JPA.
