Get the inserted id of the record before or after execute the insert statement in sql

I have this method in my DAO class to insert record to a table called idea this is my method:
public long addIdea(AddIdeaDto addIdeaDto, int userId) {
Connection connection = null;
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
try {
connection = getConnection();
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO IDEA ( IDEA.I_ID,IDEA.I_NO,IDEA.I_APPROVER_NAME_CODE, IDEA.I_TITLE,IDEA.I_DESCRIPITION, IDEA.I_CREATED_DATE,IDEA.I_STATUS_CODE, "
+ "IDEA.I_IS_CODE, IDEA.I_CONTRIBUTION_CODE, IDEA.I_POSITIVE_IMPACT, IDEA.I_SECOND_MEMBER_ID,IDEA.I_THIRD_MEMBER_ID,IDEA.I_FOURTH_MEMBER_ID,"
+ "IDEA.I_FIFTH_MEMBER_ID, IDEA.I_POINTS,IDEA.I_CREATED_USER_ID)"
+ " VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
preparedStatement.executeQuery("SELECT IDEA_SEQ.nextval FROM DUAL");
// Set parameters
preparedStatement.setObject(1, Types.NUMERIC);
preparedStatement.setObject(2, Types.NUMERIC);
preparedStatement.setObject(3, addIdeaDto.getApproverNameCode());
preparedStatement.setString(4, addIdeaDto.getTitle());
preparedStatement.setString(5, addIdeaDto.getDescription());
preparedStatement.setDate(6, addIdeaDto.getCreatedDate() == null ? null
: new java.sql.Date(addIdeaDto.getCreatedDate().getTime()));
preparedStatement.setObject(7, addIdeaDto.getStatusCode());
preparedStatement.setObject(8, addIdeaDto.getIsNewCode());
preparedStatement.setObject(9, addIdeaDto.getContributionCode());
preparedStatement.setString(10, addIdeaDto.getPositiveImpact());
preparedStatement.setObject(11, addIdeaDto.getSecondMemberName());
preparedStatement.setObject(12, addIdeaDto.getThirdMemberName());
preparedStatement.setObject(13, addIdeaDto.getFourthMemberName());
preparedStatement.setObject(14, addIdeaDto.getFifthMemberName());
preparedStatement.setObject(15, addIdeaDto.getPoints());
preparedStatement.setInt(16, userId);
preparedStatement.executeQuery();
return addIdeaDto.getIdeaId();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} finally {
try {
preparedStatement.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
actually what I want is after or before the insert statement I want to get the id (IDEA_SEQ.nextval) and save it in a value in order to use it as an input to insert in anther table.
For example, I insert this record : id = 1 , no = 1, approver code = 2, title = 'test'.............
I want this value id = 1 to use it in order to insert in table A, A_id = 33, IDEA.I_ID = 1, A_name ='testing'
how i can achieve it in properer way?
I update the code based on the comments that i receive but I did not achieve it

Usually ID that need to be reuse can be handle using a previous and separate SQL query
previousPreparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(
"select IDEA_SEQ.nextval as nextval from dual");
Result saved as a int or String parameter according to column (number or varchar) which is passed to the existing insert statement:
(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
Notice also an answer from DBA forum
you won't be able to use plain SQL to overcome this limitation: you will need some PL/SQL

A better way to handle this is the RETURNING INTO clause, which uses a single, atomic statement:
INSERT INTO mytable (id, col1, col2)
VALUES ( seq_id.nextval, c1, c2 )
RETURNING id INTO myval;

You can use PreparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys() to obtain the generated value. There is no need to use a separate statement:
You also can't prefix column names with the table name in list of columns of an INSERT statement.
String insert =
"INSERT INTO IDEA ( I_ID,I_NO,I_APPROVER_NAME_CODE, I_TITLE,I_DESCRIPITION, I_CREATED_DATE,I_STATUS_CODE, "
+ "I_IS_CODE, I_CONTRIBUTION_CODE, I_POSITIVE_IMPACT, I_SECOND_MEMBER_ID,I_THIRD_MEMBER_ID,I_FOURTH_MEMBER_ID,"
+ "I_FIFTH_MEMBER_ID, I_POINTS,I_CREATED_USER_ID)"
+ " VALUES (idea_seq.nextval,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(insertSql, new String[] {"I_ID"});
preparedStatement.setInt(1, ???); // don't know where the value for I_NO comes from
preparedStatement.setString(2, addIdeaDto.getApproverNameCode());
preparedStatement.setString(3, addIdeaDto.getTitle());
... other parameters
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys();
long newId = -1;
if (rs.next()) {
newId = rs.getLong("I_ID");
}
... use the NewId ...
The parameter new String[] {"I_ID"} for the prepareStatement() call tells the JDBC driver to return the generated value for that column. That value can be retrieved through getGeneratedKeys() which returns a ResultSet that contains one row for each inserted row (so exactly one in this case). The ID value can then be extracted from the ResultSet using the the usual getLong() (or getInt()) methods.

GetgeneratedKeys not working although row inserted

I use HSQLDB - Tried version 2.3.4 and 2.4.
I have this Java code:
String sqlquery = "MERGE INTO bewertung pu USING "
.concat("(VALUES ?,?,?) ")
.concat("temp (tid,jurorid,runde) ")
.concat("ON temp.tid = pu.tid and temp.jurorid=pu.jurorid and temp.runde=pu.runde ")
.concat("WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN ")
.concat("INSERT (tid,jurorid,runde) ")
.concat("VALUES (temp.tid,temp.jurorid,temp.runde)");
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = sql.getConnection().prepareStatement(sqlquery,
Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
preparedStatement.setInt(1, eineBewertung.getTanzID()); //TID
preparedStatement.setInt(2, eineBewertung.getJurorID()); //JURORID
preparedStatement.setInt(3, eineBewertung.getRunde()); //RUNDE
int rowsAffected = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
if (rowsAffected == 0) {
//UPDATE
//DO SOMETHING
}else{
//INSERT
try (ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (rs.next()) {
eineBewertung.setBewertungsid(rs.getInt(1));
}
}catch (SQLException ex) {
this.controller.error_ausgeben(ex);
}
}
It works. If I insert a new row I get rowsAffected = 1. I check the database and the insert worked.
But, I do not get anything back in the resultset getGeneratedKeys()
It is every time empty.
I have found some tips to replace Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS with the primary key. But this didn`t work for me.
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = sql.getConnection().prepareStatement(sqlquery,
new String[]{"BEWERTUNGSID"});
This is how I create the table:
statement.execute("create table PUBLIC.BEWERTUNG"
.concat("(BEWERTUNGSID INTEGER IDENTITY,")
.concat("TID INTEGER FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES Tanz(Tanzid),")
.concat("JURORID INTEGER not null FOREIGN KEY References JUROR(JURORID),")
.concat("RUNDE INTEGER not null,")
.concat("primary key(BEWERTUNGSID)")
.concat(")"));
Why do I not get any generated keys back? Thank you
//EDIT
If I replace my sqlquery with an insert statement it is working.
sqlquery = "INSERT INTO BEWERTUNG(TID, JURORID, RUNDE) VALUES(22, 2, 2)";
Why is merge not working in the sqlquery?

With versions of HSQLDB up to 2.4.0, generated keys are not available when inserting data using a MERGE statement. Code has been committed to allow this in the next version.

How to get auto generated keys of batch insert statement?

I want to INSERT batch of records in a database (i.e. DB2) using JDBC batch statement and then obtain the auto generated IDs of inserted rows. How can I achieve using JDBC API?
Example Code:
String SQL_INSERT = "INSERT INTO TABLE1 (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) VALUES (?) ";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://localhost:900/DATABASE");
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
// first batch
statement.setTimestamp(1, getCurrentTimestamp());
statement.addBatch();
// second batch
statement.setTimestamp(1, getCurrentTimestamp());
statement.addBatch();
int[] insertedRows = statement.executeBatch();
ResultSet generatedKeys = statement.getGeneratedKeys();
The batch statement executes successfully, all rows inserted into database. But when calling getGeneratedKeys() to retrieve generated keys, it returns an empty ResultSet. Any idea, why?

I have managed to find the db2 specific solution. If the PreparedStatement object returns automatically generated keys, call DB2PreparedStatement.getDBGeneratedKeys to retrieve an array of ResultSet objects that contains the automatically generated keys.
import com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2PreparedStatement;
// more code here
ResultSet[] result = ((DB2PreparedStatement) preparedStatement).getDBGeneratedKeys();
for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
while (result[i].next()) {
ResultSet rs = result[i];
java.math.BigDecimal generatedKey = rs.getBigDecimal(1);
System.out.println("Automatically generated key value = " + generatedKey);
}
}

objPsmt.executeBatch();
try (ResultSet rs = objPsmt.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (rs != null) {
while (rs.next()) {
int generatedId = rs.getInt(1);
generatedIds.add(generatedId);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
LOGGER.error("Exception while generating ids ", e);
}

Using Oracle sequence to insert log id into 2 tables from jdbc?

I am using oracle sequence for inserting log id into tableA as follows,
String SQL_PREP_INSERT = "INSERT INTO tableA (LOG_ID,USER_ID,EXEC_TIME) VALUES"
+ " (logid_seq.nextval, ?, ?)";
Then getting the recently inserted value,
String SQL_PREP_SEL = "SELECT max(LOG_ID) FROM tableA ";
stmt = con.prepareStatement(SQL_PREP_SEL);
stmt.execute();
ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
if (rs.next()) {
logid = rs.getInt(1);
}
And inserting it into tableB,
String SQL_PREP_INSERT_DETAIL = "INSERT INTO tableB (LOG_ID, RESPONSE_CODE, RESPONSE_MSG) VALUES"
+ " (?, ?)";
stmt = con.prepareStatement(SQL_PREP_INSERT_DETAIL);
stmt.setInt(1, logid);
stmt.setString(2, respCode);
stmt.setString(3, respMsg);
stmt.execute();
Is there a way to generate sequence in Java instead of Oracle and insert into both tables at once, instead of selecting from tableA and inserting into tableB?

In general, selecting the MAX(log_id) is not going to give you the same value that logid_seq.nextval provided. Assuming that this is a multi-user system, some other user could have inserted another row with a larger log_id value than the row you just inserted before your query is executed.
Assuming that both INSERT statements are run in the same session, the simplest option is probably to use the logid_seq.currval in the second INSERT statement. currval will return the last value of the sequence that was returned to the current session so it will always return the same value that was generated by the nextval call in the first statement.
INSERT INTO tableB (LOG_ID, RESPONSE_CODE, RESPONSE_MSG)
VALUES( logid_seq.currval, ?, ? )
Alternatively, you could use the RETURNING clause in your first statement to fetch the sequence value into a local variable and use that in the second INSERT statement. But that is probably more work than simply using the currval.

String QUERY = "INSERT INTO students "+
" VALUES (student_seq.NEXTVAL,"+
" 'Harry', 'harry#hogwarts.edu', '31-July-1980')";
// load oracle driver
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// get database connection from connection string
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:sample", "scott", "tiger");
// prepare statement to execute insert query
// note the 2nd argument passed to prepareStatement() method
// pass name of primary key column, in this case student_id is
// generated from sequence
PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(QUERY,
new String[] { "student_id" });
// local variable to hold auto generated student id
Long studentId = null;
// execute the insert statement, if success get the primary key value
if (ps.executeUpdate() > 0) {
// getGeneratedKeys() returns result set of keys that were auto
// generated
// in our case student_id column
ResultSet generatedKeys = ps.getGeneratedKeys();
// if resultset has data, get the primary key value
// of last inserted record
if (null != generatedKeys && generatedKeys.next()) {
// voila! we got student id which was generated from sequence
studentId = generatedKeys.getLong(1);
}
}

Is there a way to retrieve the autoincrement ID from a prepared statement

Is there a way to retrieve the auto generated key from a DB query when using a java query with prepared statements.
For example, I know AutoGeneratedKeys can work as follows.
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(sql, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
if(returnLastInsertId) {
ResultSet rs = stmt.getGeneratedKeys();
rs.next();
auto_id = rs.getInt(1);
}
However. What if I want to do an insert with a prepared Statement.
String sql = "INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) values(?, ?)";
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
//this is an error
stmt.executeUpdate(Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
if(returnLastInsertId) {
//this is an error since the above is an error
ResultSet rs = stmt.getGeneratedKeys();
rs.next();
auto_id = rs.getInt(1);
}
Is there a way to do this that I don't know about. It seems from the javadoc that PreparedStatements can't return the Auto Generated ID.

Yes. See here. Section 7.1.9. Change your code to:
String sql = "INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) values(?, ?)";
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
stmt.executeUpdate();
if(returnLastInsertId) {
ResultSet rs = stmt.getGeneratedKeys();
rs.next();
auto_id = rs.getInt(1);
}

There's a couple of ways, and it seems different jdbc drivers handles things a bit different, or not at all in some cases(some will only give you autogenerated primary keys, not other columns) but the basic forms are
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
Or use this form:
String autogenColumns[] = {"column1","column2"};
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql, autogenColumns)

Yes, There is a way. I just found this hiding in the java doc.
They way is to pass the AutoGeneratedKeys id as follows
String sql = "INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) values(?, ?)";
stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);

I'm one of those that surfed through a few threads looking for solution of this issue ... and finally get it to work. FOR THOSE USING jdbc:oracle:thin: with ojdbc6.jar PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
You can use either methods:
(Method 1)
Try{
String yourSQL="insert into Table1(Id,Col2,Col3) values(SEQ.nextval,?,?)";
myPrepStatement = <Connection>.prepareStatement(yourSQL, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
myPrepStatement.setInt(1, 123);
myPrepStatement.setInt(2, 123);
myPrepStatement.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = getGeneratedKeys;
if(rs.next()) {
java.sql.RowId rid=rs.getRowId(1);
//what you get is only a RowId ref, try make use of it anyway U could think of
System.out.println(rid);
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
//
}
(Method 2)
Try{
String yourSQL="insert into Table1(Id,Col2,Col3) values(SEQ.nextval,?,?)";
//IMPORTANT: here's where other threads don tell U, you need to list ALL cols
//mentioned in your query in the array
myPrepStatement = <Connection>.prepareStatement(yourSQL, new String[]{"Id","Col2","Col3"});
myPrepStatement.setInt(1, 123);
myPrepStatement.setInt(2, 123);
myPrepStatement.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = getGeneratedKeys;
if(rs.next()) {
//In this exp, the autoKey val is in 1st col
int id=rs.getLong(1);
//now this's a real value of col Id
System.out.println(id);
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
//
}
Basically, try not used Method1 if you just want the value of SEQ.Nextval, b'cse it just return the RowID ref that you may cracked your head finding way to make use of it, which also don fit all data type you tried casting it to! This may works fine (return actual val) in MySQL, DB2 but not in Oracle.
AND, turn off your SQL Developer, Toad or any client which use the same login session to do INSERT when you're debugging. It MAY not affect you every time (debugging call) ... until you find your apps freeze without exception for some time. Yes ... halt without exception!

Connection connection=null;
int generatedkey=0;
PreparedStatement pstmt=connection.prepareStatement("Your insert query");
ResultSet rs=pstmt.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs.next()) {
generatedkey=rs.getInt(1);
System.out.println("Auto Generated Primary Key " + generatedkey);
}
