Well I was wondering if there is any other way to get data from a SQL Query.
What I mean is that the "main" code that I always find is
Connection con = (connect to db)
PreparedStatement st = con.prepareStatement(....);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next())
{
//do something
}
But if I want to retrieve specific data for example lets assume that my query is
Connection con = L2DatabaseFactory.getInstance().getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT login,email FROM accounts WHERE login=?");
ps.setString(1, account);
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
while (rs.next())
{
if (rs.getString("login").equals(account))
{
email = rs.getString("email");
break;
}
}
Is there any other way except that while loop to retrieve data?
The if condition inside the while loop is completely redundant - the where clause takes care of it and assures that any data returned from this query would have a login field that's equal to the value of account.
If you're sure there's no more than one row like this (e.g., the login column is a unique identifier in your table), you could just replace the while loop with an if:
// Check that such a logic exists
if (rs.next()) {
email = rs.getString("email");
}
// for good measures, just double check there isn't more than one
// of these logins:
if (rs.next()) {
throw new Exception ("This cannot be!"); // Or something more sensible
}

image showing my jFrame
I am making a frame which shows records in the sql table one-by-one using text fields as shown. While writing the code for the next button, I need to know the position of the result set to go to the next record. For this purpose, I used a do-while loop with an "if" condition. Following is my code:
try{
Connection conn=null;
Statement stmt=null;
ResultSet rs=null;
String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/MYORG", userid="root", pwd="shreyansh";
conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url,userid,pwd);
stmt=conn.createStatement();
String query="select * from emp;";
rs=stmt.executeQuery(query);
String search=jTextField1.getText();
String search1=jTextField2.getText();
double search2=Double.parseDouble(jTextField3.getText());
String search3=jTextField3.getText();
rs.first();
do{
if(rs.equals(new Object[] {search, search1, search2, search3}))
break;
}while(rs.next());
rs.next();
String nm=rs.getString("Name");
String desg=rs.getString("Designation");
double pay=rs.getDouble("Pay");
String city=rs.getString("City");
jTextField1.setText(nm);
jTextField2.setText(desg);
jTextField3.setText(pay + "");
jTextField4.setText(city);
}catch(Exception e){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessage());
}
But it shows an error "after end of Result Set".
Please help me with this.
Any suggestions to make my code better are also welcome.
Thanks in Advance!!
You can't use ResultSet.equals for this, because that is not what the Object.equals contract is for. It is for checking if an object is equal to another object of the same (or at least compatible) type. A ResultSet will therefor never be equal to an array of object values.
It looks like you want to select a single row from the emp table that matches your search values, in that case the correct solution is to ask the database for only that row. Selecting all rows and then filtering in your Java application is very inefficient, because the database has to send all rows to your application, while finding data is exactly what a database is good at.
Instead, you should use a where clause with a prepared statement:
try (Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userid, pwd);
PreparedStatement pstmt = connection.prepareStatement(
"select * from emp where Name = ? and Designation = ? and Pay = ? and City = ?")) {
pstmt.setString(1, search);
pstmt.setString(2, search1);
pstmt.setDouble(3, search2);
pstmt.setString(4, search3);
try (ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery()) {
if (rs.next() {
String nm = rs.getString("Name");
String desg = rs.getString("Designation");
double pay = rs.getDouble("Pay");
String city = rs.getString("City");
jTextField1.setText(nm);
jTextField2.setText(desg);
jTextField3.setText(String.valueOf(pay));
jTextField4.setText(city);
} else {
// handle not found case
}
}
}
I have a strange problem. I have a database and I want to change the values of a column. The values are safed in an Arraylist (timelist).
In order to write the values in the right row, I have a second Arrylist (namelist). So I want to read the first row in my Database, than I check the namelist and find the name. Than i take the matching value out of the timelist and write it into the database into the column "follows_date" in the row, matching to the name.
And than I read the next row of the Database, until there are no more entries.
So the strange thing is, if I change nothing in the database, the while(rs.next()) part works.
For example:
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT username FROM users");
while(rs.next()){
// read the result set
String name = rs.getString("username");
System.out.println("username = " + name); //liest die namen
}
}
This would print me every name after name. But when I change the table, the while loop ends after that. (no error, the program just finishes)
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT username FROM users");
while(rs.next()){
// read the result set
String name = rs.getString("username");
System.out.println("username = " + name); //writes the name
//look, if name is in Arraylist "namelist"). if yes, than write the matching date from "timelist" into the database.
if (namelist.contains(name)){
System.out.println("name found: "+ name);
int listIndizi = namelist.indexOf(name); //get index
Long indiziDatum = (long) timelist.get(listIndizi); //get date from same Index
System.out.println(indiziDatum); // print date so i can see it is correct (which it is)
statement.executeUpdate("UPDATE users SET follows_date ="+ indiziDatum +" WHERE username = '"+name+"'"); //updates the follows_date column
}
}
Everything works fine, except that now, the while loop doesn't continues after the first passage, but ends.
The resultSet of a statement is closed and will not return further results if you execute another statement. Create a new separate statement object for the update and everything should work as excepted.
Statement statement1 = connection.createStatement();
Statement statement2 = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet1 = statement1.executeQuery("SELECT username FROM users");
while(resultSet1.next()){
...
statement2.executeUpdate("UPDATE users ..."));
}
As to Why it happens:
Here is the explanation from the official documentation:
A ResultSet object is automatically closed when the Statement object that generated it is closed, re-executed, or used to retrieve the next result from a sequence of multiple results.
Alternative Approach:
From your sample, it seems you are trying to update the "same" row in your resultSet, you should consider using an Updatable ResultSet.
Sample code from the official documentation:
public void modifyPrices(float percentage) throws SQLException {
Statement stmt = null;
try {
stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
ResultSet uprs = stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT * FROM " + dbName + ".COFFEES");
while (uprs.next()) {
float f = uprs.getFloat("PRICE");
uprs.updateFloat( "PRICE", f * percentage);
uprs.updateRow();
}
} catch (SQLException e ) {
JDBCTutorialUtilities.printSQLException(e);
} finally {
if (stmt != null) { stmt.close(); }
}
}
I have been searching and trying different stuff for awhile, but have not found an answer. I'm trying to make a connection to sql using JDBC from eclipse. I am having trouble when I need to select a string in the database. If I use:
Select name from data where title = 'mr';
That works with terminal/command line but when I try to use eclipse where I use
statement sp = connection.createstatement();
resultset rs = sp.executequery("select name from data where title = '" + "mr" + "'");
It does not give me anything while the terminal input does. What did I do wrong in the eclipse? Thanks
Heres a part of the code. Sorry, its a bit messy, been trying different things.
private boolean loginChecker(String cid, String password) throws SQLException{
boolean check = false;
PreparedStatement pstatment = null;
Statement stmt = null;
//String query = "SELECT 'cat' FROM customer";
String query = "select '"+cid+"' from customer where password = '"+password+"'";
try {
System.out.println("in try......");
//stmt = con.createStatement();
//ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
PreparedStatement prepStmt = con.prepareStatement(query);
ResultSet rs = prepStmt.executeQuery();
//System.out.print(rs.getString("cid"));
while(rs.next()){
check = true;
System.out.print(rs.getString("cid"));
}
} catch (SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (stmt != null) {
//stmt.close();
}
}
return check;
}
Second try on a simpler query:
public List<Object> showTable() {
List<Object> result = new ArrayList<Object>();
String name = "bob";
try
{
PreparedStatement preStatement = con.prepareStatement("select total from test where name = ?");
preStatement.setString(1, name);
ResultSet rs1 = preStatement.executeQuery();
while(rs1.next()){
System.out.println("there");
System.out.println(rs1.getInt("total"));
}
}
catch (SQLException ex)
{
System.out.print("Message: " + ex.getMessage());
}
return result;
}
Remove the quotes around the column name.
String query = "select "+cid+" from customer where password = '"+password+"'";
You've not mentioned which database you're working with but many databases like Oracle change the column case to upper case unless they're quoted. So, you only quote table columns if that's how you had created them. For example, if you had created a table like
CREATE TABLE some_table ( 'DoNotChangeToUpperCase' VARCHAR2 );
Then you would have to select the column with quotes as well
SELECT 'DoNotChangeToUpperCase' FROM some_table
But, if you didn't create the table using quotes you shouldn't be using them with your SELECTs either.
Make sure you are not closing the ResultSet before you are trying to use it. This can happen when you return a ResultSet and try to use it elsewhere. If you want to return the data like this, use CachedRowSet:
CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
crs.populate(ResultSet);
CachedRowSet is "special in that it can operate without being connected to its data source, that is, it is a disconnected RowSet object"
Edit: Saw you posted code so I thought I add some thoughts. If that is your ACTUAL code than the reason you are not getting anything is because the query is probably not returning anything.
String query = "select '"+cid+"' from customer where password = '"+password+"'";
This is wrong, for two reasons. 1) If you are using prepared statements you should replace all input with '?' so it should look like the following:
String query = "select name from customer where password = ?";
Then:
PreparedStatement prepStmt = con.prepareStatement(query);
prepStmt.setString(1, password);
ResultSet rs = prepStmt.executeQuery();
2)
System.out.print(rs.getString("cid"));
Here are are trying to get the column named "cid", when it should be the name stored in cid. You should actually never be letting the user decide what columns to get, this should be hardcoded in.

Getting unexpected output in program
To be frank,this question may be silly to ask, but I'm a novice in Java.
This is my Table emp(name,id,address,date).
Now I'm going to match a certain employee's corresponding password.
String sql = "select emp_id,password from regid";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
// here will be iterate function using resultset,i guess
// what should be the best logic to check the name and password...any inputs
//in terms of code
if(if (employee.equals(rs.getString("emp_id")) && password.equals(rs.getString("password")))){
You are Mr. emp // in terms of code
}
else{
Who are You ?? //in terms of code
}
}
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Use a PreparedStatement to create your query. So your parameterized query for the PreparedStatement would be something like this:
SELECT * from regid WHERE emp_id = ? AND password = ?
Plug in the paremeter values and execute your statement. So it would be something like this:
PreparedStatement ps = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
boolean validUser = false;
try{
ps = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * from regid WHERE emp_id = ? AND password = ?");
ps.setString(1, [user_id_input]);
ps.setString(2, [user_pw_input]);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
validUser = rs.next();
}finally{
//Release your resources
}
if(validUser){
//user is validated
}
As a side note, I would also suggest to validate your user's input before feeding it to your query.
You are selecting the data for all employees and looking through them for a match.
Much better to have the database filter it:
select count(*) from regid where emp_id = ? and password = ?
Then you only need to check if this returns 0 or 1.
Also, password is hopefully just a password hash.
fetching all data from database make your application performance slow, So fire following query retrieve one record.
boolean status = false;
String emp_name = "";
String emp_password = "";
String sql = "select * from regid where emp_id='"+emp_id+"' AND password='"+password+"'";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
if(emp_id.equals(rs.getString("emp_id")) && password.equals(rs.getString("password")))
{
// fetch employee data
status = true;
}
}
if(status)
{
// login correct
}
else
{
// login incorrect
}
Query your database with "select emp_id,password,... from regid where emp_id=? and password=?"
Create a PreparedStatement and set emp_id and password. it will return you 1 row if emp_id and password match.
You actually shouldn't be matching the password in the result set. Your sql query should be something like
select emp_id from regid where password='userpassword'
where userpassword is the password you got from the screen your using
When I execute the following code, I get an exception. I think it is because I'm preparing in new statement with he same connection object. How should I rewrite this so that I can create a prepared statement AND get to use rs2? Do I have to create a new connection object even if the connection is to the same DB?
try
{
//Get some stuff
String name = "";
String sql = "SELECT `name` FROM `user` WHERE `id` = " + userId + " LIMIT 1;";
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next())
{
name = rs.getString("name");
}
String sql2 = "SELECT `id` FROM `profiles` WHERE `id` =" + profId + ";";
ResultSet rs2 = statement.executeQuery(sql2);
String updateSql = "INSERT INTO `blah`............";
PreparedStatement pst = (PreparedStatement)connection.prepareStatement(updateSql);
while(rs2.next())
{
int id = rs2.getInt("id");
int stuff = getStuff(id);
pst.setInt(1, stuff);
pst.addBatch();
}
pst.executeBatch();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
private int getStuff(int id)
{
try
{
String sql = "SELECT ......;";
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
if(rs.next())
{
return rs.getInt("something");
}
return -1;
}//code continues
The problem is with the way you fetch data in getStuff(). Each time you visit getStuff() you obtain a fresh ResultSet but you don't close it.
This violates the expectation of the Statement class (see here - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html):
By default, only one ResultSet object per Statement object can be open at the same time. Therefore, if the reading of one ResultSet object is interleaved with the reading of another, each must have been generated by different Statement objects. All execution methods in the Statement interface implicitly close a statment's current ResultSet object if an open one exists.
What makes things even worse is the rs from the calling code. It is also derived off-of the statement field but it is not closed.
Bottom line: you have several ResultSet pertaining to the same Statement object concurrently opened.
A ResultSet object is automatically
closed when the Statement object that
generated it is closed, re-executed,
or used to retrieve the next result
from a sequence of multiple results.
I guess after while(rs2.next()) you are trying to access something from rs1. But it's already closed since you reexecuted statement to get rs2 from it. Since you didn't close it, I beleive it's used again below.
