mysql prepared statement error: MySQLSyntaxErrorException

Closed 6 years ago.
I've a course table with the columns,
id, teacher_id and name.
This is the method that I'm using to get a course by id.
public static Course getById(int id) throws SQLException {
String query = "SELECT * FROM courses WHERE id = ?" ;
Course course = new Course();
Connection connection = null;
PreparedStatement statement = null;
ResultSet resultSet = null;
try{
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver ());
connection = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(ConnectDb.CONN_STRING, ConnectDb.USERNAME, ConnectDb.PASSWORD);
statement = (PreparedStatement) connection.prepareStatement(query, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
statement.setInt(1, id);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
while (resultSet.next()) {
course.setId(resultSet.getInt("id"));
course.setName(resultSet.getString("name"));
course.setTeacherId(resultSet.getInt("teacher_id"));
}
}catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}finally{
if (resultSet != null) resultSet.close();;
if (statement != null) statement.close();
if(connection != null) connection.close();
}
return course;
}// end of method
When I run this method, I get an output id :0, teacher_id : 0
The server log says that I've an SQLException
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 '?' at line 1

The bug is here:
resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
You're not calling PreparedStatement#executeQuery, you're calling Statement#executeQuery (Statement is a superinterface of PreparedStatement). So the parameter substitution isn't happening and you're actually sending that ? to the server.
Change it to:
resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
// No argument here ---------------^
(And yes, this is an API design flaw; and no, you're not the first to fall into it.)
There are a few other things about that code that could use improvement:
You're always returning a Course, even if an exception occurred. Best practices would be to allow the exception to propagate to the caller; second-best practices would be to return some kind of flag to the caller that an error occurred, such as null.
The try-with-resources statement can make that code both shorter and clearer
You shouldn't have to cast the return values of getConnection or prepareStatement.
You're using while, but you're expecting only a single result. if would make more sense.
On that topic, you can give the driver a hint in that regard by using setMaxRows.
Your method declares that it can throw SQLException, which is literally true since it calls close, but the only useful SQLException is actually being caught, logged, and suppressed by the code, making declaring it on the method a bit misleading.
I'm told modern JDBC drivers don't need the registerDriver call anymore. (I personally haven't used JDBC for a while now, so...)
Here's an example incoporating the above. It allows an exception to propagate, so errors (exceptional conditions) are not handled in the normal flow of code; it returns null if there's no matching course:
public static Course getById(int id) throws SQLException {
String query = "SELECT * FROM courses WHERE id = ?";
try (
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(ConnectDb.CONN_STRING, ConnectDb.USERNAME, ConnectDb.PASSWORD);
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(query, ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
) {
statement.setInt(1, id);
statement.setMaxRows(1);
try (
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery();
) {
if (resultSet.next()) {
Course course = new Course();
course.setId(resultSet.getInt("id"));
course.setName(resultSet.getString("name"));
course.setTeacherId(resultSet.getInt("teacher_id"));
return course;
}
// No matching course
return null;
}
}
} // end of method
That can probably be improved further, but you get the idea.

Select * From java with preparedStatement [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Java MYSQL Prepared Statement Error: Check syntax to use near '?' at line 1

Closed 1 year ago.
I faced this problem today with my select SQL. This method is supposed to show data from database in tex tfields. I changed it from statement to preparedStatement, but I faced a problem.
public Entreprise loadDataModify(String id) {
Entreprise e = new Entreprise();
PreparedStatement stmt;
try {
String sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE mail=?";
stmt = cnx.prepareStatement(sql);
stmt.setString(1, id);
ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
while (rst.next()) {
stmt.setString(2, e.getNom());
stmt.setString(3, e.getEmail());
stmt.setString(4, e.getTel());
stmt.setString(5, e.getOffre());
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
return e;
}

You're calling the wrong method. Unlike Statement, when you're using a PreperedStatement you should first set the values for the parameters, and after you can call on that instance executeQuery() method.
Also, it's a best practice to use try-with-resources, because a Statement or PreparedStament object is a Resource (a resource is a class that implements AutoCloseable interface) and you have to close it. Using try-with-resources, it's done automatically.
The ResultSet instance is also a resource, but it's closed when the statement object is closed, so you don't have to close it explicitly.
So, the best way to solve your problem will be:
String selectAllByMail = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE mail=?";
try (PreparedStatement prpStatement = connection.prepareStatement(selectAllByMail)) {
// use prpStatement
prpStatement.setString(1, id);
ResultSet resultSet = prpStatement.executeQuery();
while (resultSet.next()) {
// process resultSet
}
} catch (SQLException throwables) {
throwables.printStackTrace();
}
You are not filling your Enterprise object. And you are not using executeQuery() function correctly. As seen below, the parameter inside the brackets has been removed. PreparedStatements first of all need the values of the parameters (your ? in the query) and then the formed query has to be executed. If you give a String parameter to executeQuery() then the query in the brackets will be executed.
And the part where Enterprise is being filled could be seen below.
This would be the correct way:
public Entreprise loadDataModify(String id) {
Entreprise e = new Entreprise();
PreparedStatement stmt;
try {
String sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE mail=?";
stmt = cnx.prepareStatement(sql);
stmt.setString(1, id);
ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery();
while (rst.next())
{
// rst keeps the data, so you have to traverse it and get the data from it in this way.
e.setNom( rst.getString("HERE EITHER THE COLUMN NAME OR INDEX"));
e.setEmail( rst.getString("HERE EITHER THE COLUMN NAME OR INDEX"));
e.setTel( rst.getString("HERE EITHER THE COLUMN NAME OR INDEX"));
e.setOffre( rst.getString("HERE EITHER THE COLUMN NAME OR INDEX"));
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}
return e;
}
Your call to executeQuery() should not be passing the query string. Use this version:
String sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE mail=?";
stmt = cnx.prepareStatement(sql);
stmt.setString(1, id);
ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery();
while (rst.next()) {
// process result set
}
Your current code is actually calling some overloaded Statement#executeQuery() method, which is not the version of the method which you want to be calling.

org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: The object is already closed

For the life of me I cannot see how it "is already closed"
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class RsetTest2 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String dbpath = "jdbc:h2:c:/mydb;IFEXISTS=TRUE;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE";
Connection conn = null;
System.setProperty("h2.bindAddress", "127.0.0.1");
Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbpath, "sa", "sa");
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
System.out.println("success. querying database for latest values...");
Statement qry = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "select id from CONSTITUENTS where manager = 'abc' limit 1";
ResultSet rset = qry.executeQuery(sql);
while (rset.next()) {
int id = rset.getInt("id");
System.out.println(id);
qry.executeUpdate("insert into PAYREQUESTS (constituent, inblock) values (" + id + ", 238)");
}
rset.close();
qry.close();
}
}
here is the output:

and even weirder, if I // comment out the executeUpdate line, it all completes normally
Exception in thread "main" org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: The object is already closed [90007-196]
Your problem is that you are reusing the SQL Statement inside of your while loop. As soon as you call the qry.executeUpdate(...) method in the loop, the ResultSet rset associated with the previous statement is closed, hence the error. It is the while(rset.next()) statement that is called after the first executeUpdate(...) in the loop that fails.
If you use a new statement in the loop then it should work.
Statement qry = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "select id from CONSTITUENTS where manager = 'abc' limit 1";
ResultSet rset = qry.executeQuery(sql);
while (rset.next()) {
int id = rset.getInt("id");
System.out.println(id);
// we can't reuse the same Statement here so we need to create a new one
conn.createStatement().executeUpdate("insert into PAYREQUESTS ...");
}
You might consider keeping a collection of necessary updates and then issue the updates at the end of the loop.
and even weirder, if I // comment out the executeUpdate line, it all completes normally
Yep, that sounds right. Not weird at all. :-)
Also for simplifying your code you can use try-with-resources statement that utilizes
java.lang.AutoCloseable interface, thus you can get rid of lines:
rset.close();
qry.close();
The whole block can look somehow like this:
try (ResultSet rset = conn.createStatement().executeQuery("select id from CONSTITUENTS where manager = 'abc' limit 1")) {
String insertSQL = "insert into PAYREQUESTS (constituent, inblock) values ('%d', 238)";
while (rset.next()) {
int id = rset.getInt("id");
Savepoint savePoint = conn.setSavepoint("beforeInsert");
try {
conn.createStatement().executeUpdate(String.format(insertSQL, id));
conn.commit();
} catch (SQLException ex) {
conn.rollback(savePoint);
//log exception
}
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
//log exception
}
Since your connection has auto-commit mode equals false maybe it make sense to possible harmful action.

Is putting a string literal in executeQuery prone to an SQL injection in JDBC?

I've been looking around and can't seem to find a solid answer to this. I was wondering if putting a string literal in executeQuery() is still prone to SQL injection.
So lets say I have this code:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/","root","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * from users where uid = "+uid);
Is this prone to a SQL injection?
Another question is, is just making the method that uses this code only throw an SQLException, and then trying and catching in main acceptable?
For example:
public void execMethod(String uid) throws SQLException {
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/","root","password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * from users where uid = "+uid);
// execute some other code
res.close();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
execMethod("123");
execMethod("456");
} catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
Is this the standard or correct way of using SQL exceptions? I've never really worked with SQL and especially not Java and SQL. The tutorials I've read seem to only lay it out one way, so I'm pretty unsure of myself.
Is this prone to a SQL injection?"
Yes, you have no control over what uid might actually contain.
See Using Prepared Statements for more details
Another question is, is just making the method that uses this code only throw an SQLException, and then trying and catching in main acceptable?"
Yes, but you should at least wrap the contends of execMethod in try-finally to ensure that you are closing the resources you open (or use a try-with-resources for Java 7)
public void execMethod(String uid) throws SQLException {
try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/", "root", "password")) {
try (PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * from users where uid = ?")) {
stmt.setString(1, uid);
try (ResultSet res = stmt.executeQuery()) {
// Process ressult set
}
}
}
}
See The try-with-resources Statement for more details
But, I would only catch the SQLException for EACH call, not batch them together, as you won't know what failed and what succeeded
try {
execMethod("123");
try {
execMethod("456");
} catch (Exception ex) {
// Maybe undo 123
System.out.println("Failed 456");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Failed 123");
ex.printStackTrace();
}
(assuming that 456 is dependent on the success of 123)
Short answer : yes.
You do not appear to be doing any kind of input validation so there isn't anything stopping uid from being something like "105 or 1=1"
You should probably use PreparedStatements tutorial here
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * from users where uid = ?")
stmt.setString(1, uid);
..same as before
Also you don't close the statement or the connection which should be done in a finally block incase an exception is thrown
Yes. If uid can be entered by a user (it's not a String literal). I suggest you use a PreparedStatement, and a try-with-resources like
final String sql = "SELECT * from users where uid = ?";
try (PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql)) {
ps.setString(1, uid);
try (ResultSet res = ps.executeQuery()) {
while (res.next()) {
// ...
}
}
}
The PreparedStatement (with bind variable) has at least these advantages
It can use the Statement cache on the server
It is not prone to SQL Injection

Unable to get value from ResultSet

I am working on a web application using Java and MySQL.
I created a method that is supposed to return an ArrayList of the respective column name based on the various tables in the database.
However, when I debugged the method, I realised the while(rs.next()) causes an error. I used this site for reference, hence I am not sure what went wrong.
This is the code. Thanks.
// Returns the the all the columns in the table
public ArrayList getColumnName(String tableName) throws SQLException {
ResultSet rs = null;
List<String> columnName = new ArrayList<String>();
Statement st = null;
Connection con = null;
try {
// Get a connection from the connection factory
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/information_schema", "root", "xxxx");
// Create a Statement object so we can submit SQL statements to the driver
st = con.createStatement();
StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder("SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns " +
"WHERE table_schema = 'testDB' AND table_name = '");
sql.append(tableName).append("'");
rs = st.executeQuery(sql.toString());
while (rs.next()) { // getting error..
columnName.add(rs.getString("column_name"));
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ModificationPage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} finally {
if (con != null || st != null) {
st.close();
con.close();
}
}
return (ArrayList) columnName;
}
According to the Javadoc of 1.6 (not sure which version of Java you're using):
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed result set
It's very, very unlikely that if you actually got to the line where rs.next() was called, that a database error occurred just then. So, the most likely result is that the result set was closed.
Please alter your code to the following and see if you still get the error on the same line:
while (!rs.isClosed() && rs.next()) { // getting error..
columnName.add(rs.getString("column_name"));
}
Also, Holy SQL Injection Attack, Batman!
Taking the raw string as you're doing and enclosing it within single quotes leads this code to have an SQL injection vulnerability. Basically all a malicious user has to do is end your query with a single quote (') and run a query of their own afterwards.
So, the exception never happens ?
A query error should be thrown at rs = st.executeQuery(sql.toString()) if that were the case, but if it make it to whileand didn't iterate, it's because of an empty resultset
Maybe you're passing wrong arguments to the query ?

How can I avoid ResultSet is closed exception in Java?

As soon as my code gets to my while(rs.next()) loop it produces the ResultSet is closed exception. What causes this exception and how can I correct for it?
EDIT: I notice in my code that I am nesting while(rs.next()) loop with another (rs2.next()), both result sets coming from the same DB, is this an issue?
Sounds like you executed another statement in the same connection before traversing the result set from the first statement. If you're nesting the processing of two result sets from the same database, you're doing something wrong. The combination of those sets should be done on the database side.
This could be caused by a number of reasons, including the driver you are using.
a) Some drivers do not allow nested statements. Depending if your driver supports JDBC 3.0 you should check the third parameter when creating the Statement object. For instance, I had the same problem with the JayBird driver to Firebird, but the code worked fine with the postgres driver. Then I added the third parameter to the createStatement method call and set it to ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT, and the code started working fine for Firebird too.
static void testNestedRS() throws SQLException {
Connection con =null;
try {
// GET A CONNECTION
con = ConexionDesdeArchivo.obtenerConexion("examen-dest");
String sql1 = "select * from reportes_clasificacion";
Statement st1 = con.createStatement(
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY,
ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT);
ResultSet rs1 = null;
try {
// EXECUTE THE FIRST QRY
rs1 = st1.executeQuery(sql1);
while (rs1.next()) {
// THIS LINE WILL BE PRINTED JUST ONCE ON
// SOME DRIVERS UNLESS YOU CREATE THE STATEMENT
// WITH 3 PARAMETERS USING
// ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT
System.out.println("ST1 Row #: " + rs1.getRow());
String sql2 = "select * from reportes";
Statement st2 = con.createStatement(
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
// EXECUTE THE SECOND QRY. THIS CLOSES THE FIRST
// ResultSet ON SOME DRIVERS WITHOUT USING
// ResultSet.HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT
st2.executeQuery(sql2);
st2.close();
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
rs1.close();
st1.close();
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
} finally {
con.close();
}
}
b) There could be a bug in your code. Remember that you cannot reuse the Statement object, once you re-execute a query on the same statement object, all the opened resultsets associated with the statement are closed. Make sure you are not closing the statement.
Also, you can only have one result set open from each statement. So if you are iterating through two result sets at the same time, make sure they are executed on different statements. Opening a second result set on one statement will implicitly close the first.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html
The exception states that your result is closed. You should examine your code and look for all location where you issue a ResultSet.close() call. Also look for Statement.close() and Connection.close(). For sure, one of them gets called before rs.next() is called.
You may have closed either the Connection or Statement that made the ResultSet, which would lead to the ResultSet being closed as well.
Proper jdbc call should look something like:
try {
Connection conn;
Statement stmt;
ResultSet rs;
try {
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(myUrl,"","");
stmt = conn.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(myQuery);
while ( rs.next() ) {
// process results
}
} catch (SqlException e) {
System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
} finally {
// you should release your resources here
if (rs != null) {
rs.close();
}
if (stmt != null) {
stmt.close();
}
if (conn != null) {
conn.close();
}
}
} catch (SqlException e) {
System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
you can close connection (or statement) only after you get result from result set. Safest way is to do it in finally block. However close() could also throe SqlException, hence the other try-catch block.
I got same error everything was correct only i was using same statement interface object to execute and update the database.
After separating i.e. using different objects of statement interface for updating and executing query i resolved this error. i.e. do get rid from this do not use same statement object for both updating and executing the query.
Check whether you have declared the method where this code is executing as static. If it is static there may be some other thread resetting the ResultSet.
make sure you have closed all your statments and resultsets before running rs.next. Finaly guarantees this
public boolean flowExists( Integer idStatusPrevious, Integer idStatus, Connection connection ) {
LogUtil.logRequestMethod();
PreparedStatement ps = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
ps = connection.prepareStatement( Constants.SCRIPT_SELECT_FIND_FLOW_STATUS_BY_STATUS );
ps.setInt( 1, idStatusPrevious );
ps.setInt( 2, idStatus );
rs = ps.executeQuery();
Long count = 0L;
if ( rs != null ) {
while ( rs.next() ) {
count = rs.getLong( 1 );
break;
}
}
LogUtil.logSuccessMethod();
return count > 0L;
} catch ( Exception e ) {
String errorMsg = String
.format( Constants.ERROR_FINALIZED_METHOD, ( e.getMessage() != null ? e.getMessage() : "" ) );
LogUtil.logError( errorMsg, e );
throw new FatalException( errorMsg );
} finally {
rs.close();
ps.close();
}
A ResultSetClosedException could be thrown for two reasons.
1.) You have opened another connection to the database without closing all other connections.
2.) Your ResultSet may be returning no values. So when you try to access data from the ResultSet java will throw a ResultSetClosedException.
It happens also when using a ResultSet without being in a #Transactional method.
ScrollableResults results = getScrollableResults("select e from MyEntity e");
while (results.next()) {
...
}
results.close();
if MyEntity has eager relationships with other entities. the second time results.next() is invoked the ResultSet is closed exception is raised.
so if you use ScrollableResults on entities with eager relationships make sure your method is run transactionally.
"result set is closed" happened to me when using tag <collection> in MyBatis nested (one-to-many) xml <select> statement
A Spring solution could be to have a (Java) Spring #Service layer, where class/methods calling MyBatis select-collection statements are annotated with
#Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
annotations being:
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Propagation;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
this solution does not require to set the following datasource properties (i.e., in JBoss EAP standalone*.xml):
<xa-datasource-property name="downgradeHoldCursorsUnderXa">**true**\</xa-datasource-property>
<xa-datasource-property name="resultSetHoldability">**1**</xa-datasource-property>
