In the what's next section, I wrote about what I thought would be a good upgrade to the batch file.

I'm wondering if it's possible to convert batch files to executables using C++? I have plenty of batch files here and I would like to convert them to executables (mainly to obfuscate the code).

I'm trial and erroring a trivial batch script: I need to execute the .bat and have it iterate through all the files in the current directory and delete all files (and subfolders) except for itself and two other files.

I have a piece of code that executes about 500,000 inserts on a database. It's now done in a loop calling PreparedStatement's executeUpdate at each iteration. Would it be faster to add all 500,000 inserts to a batch and and call executeBatch just once? ...
