Save string path in a database - java

Java MySQL Database
I'm doing a project on saving a string which is a path name like, "C:\Desktop\" into the database. I had create a entity class to update this path name into database, in java eclipse when i run my program it display the path is store in the database in this format, "C:\Desktop\" but in the database column for this path it only store "C: Desktop", without the '\'

You need to escape the \ with \\. Use this to store
C:\\Desktop\\
instead of
C:\Desktop\
Learn more about escape sequence in java : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/characters.html

Simplest solution is use / instead of \ in path . Or escapes the characters in a String using Java String rules

A simple solution is to replace the the "\" before you store it in the database. Try:
string.replace("\","#");
Then your slashes are the # symbols. When you read the value again, you can do it the other way.

you may try storing it with forward slash i.e. "C:/Desktop/"

Unable to capture next line character in Java

I have a requirement of parsing through an python file which contains multiple sql queries and get the start and end positions of the query to get only the query part using JAVA
I am using .contains function to check for sql(''' as my opening character for the query and now for the closing character I have ''') but there are some cases where ''') comes in between the query when there is a variable involved which should not be detected as an end of the query.
Something like this :
spark.sql(''' SELECT .......
FROM.....
WHERE xxx IN ('''+ Variable +''')
''')
here the last but one line also gets detected as end of line if I use line.contains(" ''') ") which is wrong.
All I can think of is to check for next line character as the end of the query as each query is separated by two empty lines. So tried these if (line.contains(" ''')\n") & if (line.contains(" ''')\r\n") but none of them work for me.
Kindly let me know of any other way to do this.
Note that I do not have the privilege to change the query file.
Thanks
I believe simple contains won't solve this problem.
You will have to use Pattern if you are looking to match \n.
String query = "spark.sql(''' SELECT .......\n" +
"FROM..... \n" +
"WHERE xxx IN ('''+ Variable +''')\n" +
"''')";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^spark.sql\\('''(.*)'''\\)$", Pattern.DOTALL);
System.out.println(pattern.matcher(query).find());
Output:
true
Pattern.DOTALL tells Java to allow the dot to match newline characters, too.

Filter Special Characters in Spring / Java

I'm using jsoup to get all text from websites.
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("URL").get();
String allText doc.text().toLowerCase();
Then I'm using Hibernate to persist the object that holds all text to a MySQL DB:
...
#Column(name="all_text")
#Lob
private String allText = null;
...
Everything is good so far. Only that sometimes I get a MySQL error when I try to save the object with allText:
java.sql.SQLException: Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x98\x8A s...' for column 'all_text' at row 1
Already looked this up and it's an encoding error. Probably have some special characters on their websites. I found a way to fix this by changing the encoding in the DB.
But my actual question is: what's the best way to filter and remove the special characters from the allText string and not persist them at all?
EDIT: To clarify, by special characters I mean Emoticons and all that stuff. Definitely anything that doesn't fit into UTF-8 encoding. I'm not concerned about ~ ^ etc...
Thanks in advance!
Just use regex:
allText.replaceAll("\\p{C}", "");
Don't forget to import java.util.regexPattern

Java Special character encoding issue

I tried to insert some special character via java into oracle table and then retrieve it again--assuming my encoding will work.
Below is the code which i tried.
String s=new String("yesterday"+"\u2019"+"s");
...
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT into test1 values ('"+s+"')");
ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery("select * from test1");
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(new String(rs.getString(1).getBytes("UTF-8"),"UTF-8"));
}
...
Now, when I try to see output via commandline execution it displays special character always: yesterday’s
My question is: why even after using encoding, it is not showing expected result. i.e. yesterday’s. Is above mentioned code is not correct or some modification is required?
P.S.: In eclipse, the code might result yesterday’s, but if executed via command line , it shows yesterday’s
I am using :
-- JDK1.6
-- Oracle : 11.1.0.6.0
-- NLS_Database_Parameters: NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
--Windows
Edit:
\u2019 : this is RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK & I am looking for this character only.
Check the java property "file.encoding" when you run on the commandline, it may be set to something other than "UTF-8" causing the text to display incorrectly when you output on the commandline.
Here is an illustration of what I suggested in a comment (change the character set of your client). Straight from my SQL*Plus:
SQL> select unistr('\2019') from dual;
U
-
Æ
SQL> $chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252
SQL> select unistr('\2019') from dual;
U
-
’
If this works for you, you may want to add $chcp 1252 to your [g]login.sql.
The problem is that the character encoding for the apostrophe is \u0027
I ran this in the command line:
public class Yesterday{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = new String("yesterday" + "\u0027" +"s");
System.out.println(s);
}
}
it resulted in:
yesterday's

How to pass all kind of SQL-Queries via Command Line/Batch Args[] into Java?

I want to write a little .jar which is used as a "translator" for SQL-Queries directed to a z/OS-DB2-Database.
My goal is that the application accepts SQL-Queries as Command Line Arguments manually or via shell script/cron, next to other parameters like IP, Port, User etc.
Is there a way to leave those arguments unaffected while passing them to the jar?
Example:
java -jar db2sql.jar SQL=={SELECT * FROM TABLE1 TAB1, TABLE2 TAB2 WHERE TAB1.XYZ = TAB2.ZYX AND TAB2.ABC LIKE 'blabla' AND TAB1.DATE >= '01.01.2015'} IP=={192.168.0.1} User=={Santa} Password=={CLAUS}
(please ignore that this statement is senseless, but i hope you get the trick)
My Problem is reading out that Command Line parameters, mostly special characters like * , " ' etc.
Questions:
Is there a list of all possible SQL-Parameters which must be escaped?
Is there a special character which can be used as delimiter that will never occur in an SQL-Query?
Is it possible to pass all kind of SQL Statments as ONE argument?
Is it possible to leave special characters unhandled, e.g. Argument "" = String "", and not .classpath etc. ?
Kind Regards
Although I wouldn't recommend what you're trying to do for several reasons, at least in a *NIX environment you could just use the standard way.
java -jar foo.jar -s "SELECT * FROM SOMETHING WHERE foo = 2" -u username -h hostname
You can use additional libraries to parse the parameters, but this way you would use -s to specify the SQL query, and wrap the param value in " to make it a single argument with automatic escape.
In your main method you can then get the full query with (simplified)
if(args[0].equals("-s"))
sqlString = args[1];

JNDI InvalidnameException for CN 'LastName, FirstName'

I am writing to active directory using JNDI, it is successful for
"CN=Yuri Gagarin,OU=Admins,DC=ead,DC=ubc,DC=ca"; but fails for
"CN=Gagarin, Yuri,OU=Admins,DC=ead,DC=ubc,DC=ca".
I need to store displayName, cn, name in the format 'lastName, FirstName'.
What do I need to do to get this going?
Thanks very much.
Use \ to escape the comma:
"CN=Gagarin\, Yuri,OU=Admins,DC=ead,DC=ubc,DC=ca"
