Error "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-04054" JDBC-ORACLE

My code looks as follows:
ResulSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select passwd from mrs_user where email="+mail_id);
String usr_paswd = rs.getString(1);
But the error is as follows:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-04054: database link G.COM does not exist
mail_id=dk#g.com

First, String should be between to quotes 'mail_id', but this way is not secure it can cause SQL Injection or syntax error instead you can use PreparedStatement.
Second, you still not get any result, you have to call rs.next() before to moves the cursor to the next row (read about Retrieving and Modifying Values from Result Sets).
Code example
String usr_paswd = null;
try (PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement(
"select passwd from mrs_user where email=?")) {
stmt.setString(1, mail_id);
ResulSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()){
usr_paswd = rs.getString(1);
}
}

SQL query in WHERE arabic condition

when i write database query :
select * from mytable WHERE subTitle='داتا باللغه العربيه';
it not return any thing but it is found in database table

Since you've included Java as a tag, I'll assume you're using JDBC for connecting to the database, in which case you should never be sending that particular string (SQL statement) to the database.
That is because that particular string implies string concatenation for building the SQL statement, as in:
String subtitle = "داتا باللغه العربيه";
String sql = "select * from mytable WHERE subTitle='" + subtitle + "'";
That is a very big no, no, because it leaves you vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
Instead, you should be using a PreparedStatement and use parameters markers:
String subtitle = "داتا باللغه العربيه";
String sql = "select * from mytable WHERE subTitle=?";
try (PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql)) {
stmt.setString(1, subtitle);
try (ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery()) {
// use result set here
}
}
If this doesn't fix the character set issues you have, try using setNString instead. The 'N' is actually what you likely should have used for the string literal too, as in N'داتا باللغه العربيه', but don't use the string literal.

select * from mytable WHERE subTitle='داتا باللغه العربيه'

How to change table name of from clause in PreparedStatement

Hi i have a small problem, how do i switch tables to get results from??
The code below is not working.However that should give you some idea of what i am trying to do.
Thanks for the help
String typelogin=null;
if(xx){
typelogin="users_table";
}else{
typelogin="admin_table";
}
String sqlStr = "Select * from "+typelogin+" where username=? and userpassword=?";
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sqlStr);
The full code:
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
String sqlStr = "Select * from "+typelogin+" where username=? and userpassword=?";
PreparedStatement pstmt=conn.prepareStatement(sqlStr);
pstmt.setString(1,user);
pstmt.setString(2,password);
//step 6 Process result
ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
The error i am getting:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'fromspmovy_admin where username='abc' and userpassword='abc'' at line 1
Answer[SOLVED]:
forgot to put white space
from " + typelogin + " where

From your error message: 'fromspmovy_admin where ... looks like you missed a whitespace between from and your table name. Make sure you're doing this in the right way in all your methods (note that in your current example this won't happen).

If you will use ? for pass the variables, you must use PreparedStatement not Statement. Also according your error message you need to add a white space after from (check fromspmovy_admin)

Replace query with hyphen by a substraction

I'm searching on the web for several times but did not found anything which could help me (in java).
In fact I need to search in a sql table some rows from some reference which contains an hyphen. The issue made is that the sql replace my reference by the result of a substraction. The type of the columns are string.
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT * FROM WAREHOUSE WHERE REF LIKE('96-18')" ;
Statement statement = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(query);
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString("S_FAMILY"));
}
In this code, it replaces my reference by 78 and does not naturaly return the good result.
I've searched for an escape char but did not found.

Try sending the String as parameter on the query. Doing this requires to change the Statement into PreparedStatement:
String query = "SELECT * FROM WAREHOUSE WHERE REF LIKE(?)" ;
PreparedStatement pstatement = con.prepareStatement(query,
ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
pstatement.setString(1, "96-18");
ResultSet rs = pstatement.executeQuery();
Note: you should send "96-18" as value of a String variable, do not hard code it.

You can try
SELECT * FROM WAREHOUSE WHERE REF LIKE('96\-18') ESCAPE '\'
Hope it helps

Prepared statement - using a function as part of the where clause

I am working with a Java prepared statement that gets data from an Oracle database. Due to some performance problems, the query uses a "virtual column" as an index.
The query looks like this:
String status = "processed";
String customerId = 123;
String query = "SELECT DISTINCT trans_id FROM trans WHERE status = " + status + " AND FN_GET_CUST_ID(trans.trans_id) = " + customerId;
Connection conn = getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
ps.execute();
...
} catch (...)
This does not work. Having the function as part of the where clause causes a SQLException. I am aware of CallableStatement, and know I could use that first and then concatenate the results. However, this table uses FN_GET_CUST_ID(trans_id) as part of it's index. Is there a way to use a prepared statement with a database function as a query parameter?

Never concatenate arguments for the SQL into the String. Always use placeholders (?) and setXxx(column, value);.
You'll get the same error if you'd run the SQL in a your favorite DB tool. The problem is that Oracle can't use the function for some reason. What error code do you get?

If Customer ID is numeric keep in int not in String. Then try doing the following:
String query = "SELECT DISTINCT trans_id FROM trans WHERE status = ? AND FN_GET_CUST_ID(trans.trans_id) = ?";
ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
ps.setString(1, status);
ps.setInt(2, customerId);
ps.execute();
Besides other benefits of prepared statement you won't have to remember about string quotations (this causes your error most likely) and escaping of the special characters.

At the first glance, the query seems to be incorrect. You are missing an apostrophe before and after the usage of status variable (assuming that status is a varchar column).
String query = "SELECT DISTINCT trans_id FROM trans
WHERE status = '" + status + "' AND FN_GET_CUST_ID(trans.trans_id) = " + customerId;
EDIT: I am not from java background. However, as #Aron has said, it is better to use placeholders & then use some method to set values for parameters to avoid SQL Injection.
