Getting Exception With DB2 Auto Increment

I have created the following table:
"CREATE TABLE ParsonCollection "
+ "(id integer not null GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 1, INCREMENT BY 1),"
+ "name varchar(20),"
+ "eye varchar(20),"
+ "hair varchar(20),"
+ "height varchar(20),"
+ "weight varchar(20),"
+ "PRIMARY KEY (id))";
I am then trying to insert into the table and this is where I am running into issues. When I try to alter the "id" column, I get an error saying "java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Attempt to modify an identity column 'ID'. " Here is what the insert statement looks like:
"insert into ParsonCollection values(" + q_surround(Name) + ","
+ q_surround(Eye) + "," + q_surround(Hair) + "," + q_surround(Height) + "," + q_surround(Weight) + ",1" + ")";
However, when I take away the field that is inserting into "id", I get the following error: "java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: The number of values assigned is not the same as the number of specified or implied columns." Here is what this insert statement looks like:
"insert into ParsonCollection values(" + q_surround(Name) + ","
+ q_surround(Eye) + "," + q_surround(Hair) + "," + q_surround(Height) + "," + q_surround(Weight) + ")";
How do I get past this? It seems that when I solve one exception, the other one pops up and vice versa. Thanks.

You can't assign to an identity column. Since you cannot pass all values for insert, you need to enumerate the columns (omitting the identity column):
"insert into ParsonCollection (
name,
eye,
hair,
height
weight
) values("
+ q_surround(Name)
+ "," + q_surround(Eye)
+ "," + q_surround(Hair)
+ "," + q_surround(Height)
+ "," + q_surround(Weight)
+ ")";
Side note: your code is opened to SQL injection. You should seriously consider using prepared statements and bind parameters instead of concatenating the query string.

Out of interest, another solution would be to make the identity column IMPLICITLY HIDDEN

How to make sql insert string from data entered into JTextField

im having some problems getting the insert string to work its giving me a syntax error but cant figure out why, any help ?
String sql = "INSERT INTO user VALUES ('"+ jtfEmailAddr.getText()+"'," +
"'"+ jtfPassword2.getText() + "'," +
"'"+ jtfFName.getText() +"','" + jtfSurname.getText() +"')" +
"ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE password='" + jtfPassword2.getText() + "'"+ `enter code here`
"firstname='" + jtfFName.getText() + "'," +
"lastname='" + jtfSurname.getText() + "'";
database.insertIntoDatabase(sql);
ERROR:
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 'rr'nn)' at line 1
the letters rr nn are just random for test purposed

Try adding a comma there “‘,”
With no more information is the part I see wrong
(Apart from of course the the “enter code here”...)

INSERT INTO with embedded apostrophe

Eclipse neon.1 (4.6.1) java;
SQLite 3.8.7 (sqlite-jdbc-3.8.7.jar)
I am attempting to insert customer's data into a table using the following code snippet:
PreparedStatement ps;
insertSQL = "INSERT INTO tbl_TotalPatent "
+ "(Abstract, `Application/Filing Date`, `Application Number`) "
+ "VALUES ("
+ "'" + _field[0] + "', "
+ "'" + _field[1] + "', "
+ "'" + _field[2] + "');";
ps = con.prepareStatement(insertSQL);
ps.execute();
Unfortunately, the client's data has an embedded apostrophe, which I cannot change. The "INSERT INTO" statement bombs out when finding the apostrophe, assuming it is a single quote:
java.sql.SQLException: [SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (near "s": syntax error)
I've tried various permutations of the INSERT INTO statement to use different characters for the single quote - to no avail.
I presume there is an "easy" work-around, but I can't find it. The solution is probably posted somewhere on stackoverflow, but I can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

you can replace that apostrophe with an double apostrophe, which is the standard SQL escape sequence for '
simply do that whith the following snippet:
+ "'" + _field[x].replaceAll("'", "''") + "', "
You could also use " instead of ' in your sql statement like the following:
+ "\"" + _field[x] + "\", "

Pass email as a parameter for SQL query, PostreSQL, JAVA

I'm trying to pass the email as a parameter for the SELECT SQL query in my JAVA back-end.
As i understood, for some reason it pass only "email_name" from the "email_name#email.com". (Getting this error):
Threw a SQLException creating the list of blogs.
ERROR: column "email_name" does not exist
Position: 174
There is an existed rows, which contains "email_name#email.com".
(Why "ERROR: column"? according to query it should look for a value, no?)
Here is My query:
String active_user = "email_name#email.com"; //email_name#email.com - example, active_user receive some path variable and on this particular moment(before query execution) contains exactly "email_name#email.com".
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT \n" +
" goods.item_title, \n" +
" goods.item_descr, \n" +
" goods.item_email,\n" +
" goods.item_images,\n" +
" goods.item_phone, \n" +
" goods.item_price \n" +
"FROM \n" +
" public.goods\n" +
"WHERE goods.owner = "+active_user+"\n" +
"ORDER BY\n" +
" goods.item_id ASC;");
So the question is - how to pass full email to query?

Try using String active_user = "'email_name#email.com'";. with single quotes. Since postgre recognized as column when you use double quotes.
You should use PreparedStatement. this is a example

Very unsafe approach, you should use PreparedStatement to avoid SQL injection. Here is existing answer

Writing to access database in Java?

I'm working on a database project about adding, editing and deleting registries to a Students table which has fields:
Last_names, Names, IcNumber, Average, Entry_mode, Career and Change
In the editing frame i have a field where user types the icnumber of the student to edit its data, asks for the new data and saves it to a "Students" data structure, and then reupdates the registry with the new data:
String stmnt = "Insert Into Students (Last_names, Names, IcNumber, Average, " +
"Entry_mode, Career, Change) Values ('" + student.getLastNames() +
"', '" + student.getNames() + "', '" + student.getIcNumber() + "', " +
student.getAverage() + ", '" + student.getEntry() + "', '" +
student.getCareer() + "', '" + student.getChange() + "') " +
"Where IcNumber = '" + field.getText() + "'";
statement.execute(stmnt);
And i get this Error message:
[Microsoft][Microsoft Access ODBC Driver] "Query input must contain at least one table or query."
I have tried a similar SQL Instruction in the adding registry area of my program without the "Where" condition and works good, anyone knows about that error?

You should use a subquery, first the SELECT part with WHERE and then the INSERT part
Something like:
if (cond){
(SELECT.....)
(INSERT INTO...)}

Why are you using where in a insert statement? Where clause is applicable in select, update and delete statements but not in insert. Also I don't see any need of the where clause in your query.
Simply use the insert statement without where clause.

Use an INSERT statement to add a new record. A WHERE clause does not belong in an INSERT statement.
If you're editing an existing record, then you should use an UPDATE statement, and a WHERE clause makes sense to identify which record to change.
