Another idea I have is to create a ArrayList of pairs (column name and value) and pass it to the stored procedure. This way I can create somewhat a generic procedure for updating. But I don't know if ArrayList type can be read by stored procedure.

We only take the changes, bundle it into a datatable and update ... I believe the process also uses diffgrams..
