H2 Database, problems getting data from tables

I'm creating a JavaFX application, I've connected to the database fine. However when i look to get data from the tables i get the error
org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Table "LECTURE" not found; SQL
statement: SELECT NAME FROM Lecture [42102-192]
and I'm 100% sure i'm connected to the database and the table is definitely there, any suggestions on why this is?
hear is my connection code and the code i am running just so you can see
public class ConnectionFactory {
//static reference to itself
private static ConnectionFactory instance = new ConnectionFactory();
public static final String URL = "jdbc:h2:file:~/db\\.";
public static final String USER = "notepad";
public static final String PASSWORD = "password";
public static final String DRIVER_CLASS = "org.h2.Driver";
//private constructor
private ConnectionFactory() {
try {
Class.forName(DRIVER_CLASS);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private Connection createConnection() {
Connection connection = null;
try {
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, USER, PASSWORD);
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("ERROR: Unable to Connect to Database.");
}
return connection;
}
public static Connection getConnection() {
return instance.createConnection();
}
}
And the query being run
private void onLoadYearSelect() {
try {
Connection con = ConnectionFactory.getConnection();
Statement stat = con.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT NAME FROM Lecture";
ResultSet years = stat.executeQuery(query);
while(years.next()){
yearSelect.setValue(years.getString("NAME"));
System.out.println(years.getString("NAME"));
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void initialize(){
onLoadYearSelect();
}

If it says the table doesn't exist, then it really doesn't exist.
Most likely, you are not actually connecting to the correct database. In fact, by default, if the connection string points to a non-existent database, it just creates an empty database on the fly, which would explain your error.
It's probably too late now (because there is probably a 2nd database created already somewhere), but to avoid this confusion, it's not a bad idea to include IFEXISTS=TRUE in the connection string so that it fails if the database doesn't exist, rather than creating an empty one that will mask the true problem.
public static final String URL = "jdbc:h2:file:~/db\\.;IFEXISTS=TRUE";
However, one thing you can still try to debug the problem, is to add IFEXISTS=TRUE to the connection string. Then move or rename the database you think it should be connecting to so as to make the connection string invalid. Basically, force it to fail. If the code still connects to the database successfully, then you'll know the connection string is not pointing to the location you think it is.

How to tell when there is a connection database issue?

I need to make a special treatment when a connection problem to the database is occurring like database server down and not an sql problem.
In the source code we can get various exceptions but which ones are belonging to the connection ones ?
We would like if this kind of problem occurs to make less logs.
EDITED
I have many methods that perform connection to the database but all get the session from the same method (initSession):
Here an example:
private Session initSession(HibernateUtil hibernateUtil) {
Session oSession = null;
try {
oSession = hibernateUtil.getSession();
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("unable to log, Please check the details of your database");
}
return oSession;
}
public List findAlerts(int pFirstLine, int pNbElement) throws AnalyzerException {
List oAlerts = new ArrayList();
Session oSession = initSession(lHibernateUtil);
try {
oAlerts = AlertFinders.instance().findAlertByStatus(oSession, false, pFirstLine, pNbElement);
Iterator iterAlerts = oAlerts.iterator();
while (iterAlerts.hasNext()) {
...
}
} catch (UnableToLocateObjectException eU) {
throw new AnalyzerException(eU.getMessageSource(), eU.getClassNameSource(), eU.getMethodSource(), eU);
} finally {
oSession.close();
}
return oAlerts;
}

Multiple possible ways.
Use Java Connection isValid method.
Use connection pool - All major connection
pools support this functionality (including c3p0 and dbcp).They can
throw SQLException has getErrorCode() and getSQLState() methods
Write Java code & poll frequently - sample code below
Run arguments sample: jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:XE system mypassword123 oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
public class DbConnCheck {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String url = args[0];
String username = args[1];
String password = args[2];
String driver = args[3];
Class.forName(driver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
try {
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL");
while(rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getObject(1));
}
} finally {
conn.close();
}
}
}
Edit : Adding details on hibernate part
Not done in Hibernate but to be precise you can check in connection pool configuration.
If using c3p0 then check how you can best use setting like idle_test_period, preferredTestQuery and testConnectionOnCheckout;
If using dbcp then validationQuery can do the job.
If you want to use c3p0 with Hibernate and Spring check this link

Java data transaction performance

I know how to open data transaction with JDBC. But i think I can/must do something to increase data transaction performance. For example:
public class F_Koneksi {
private static final String JDBC_DRIVER;
private static final String DB_URL;
private static final String USER;
private static final String PASS;
static {
JDBC_DRIVER = "org.postgresql.Driver";
DB_URL = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/MyDatabase";
USER = "Username";
PASS = "Password";
}
private final Connection con;
private ResultSet rs;
private Statement stmt;
public F_Koneksi() {
Connection connect;
try {
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("user", USER);
props.setProperty("password",PASS);
props.setProperty("sslfactory", "org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory");
props.setProperty("ssl", "true");
forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
connect = getConnection(DB_URL, props);
} catch (SQLException|ClassNotFoundException se) {
connect = null;
}
con = connect;
}
public boolean Update(String Query) {
try {
Query = Query.replaceAll("`", "\"");
System.out.println(Query);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(Query);
return true;
} catch (SQLException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
And when i must close my connection or turning auto commit off?
What can I do to improve my app data transaction performance? How is the proper way to make data transaction? Or any tips to do it better?

When i must close my connection?
If you are running in a Java EE environment (i.e. on an app server) then you can get and close connections as you wish, since most Java EE environments will pool JDBC connections for you unless you explicitly disable connection pooling.
If you are running in a Java SE environment, this depends on how you are getting the connection. For this example, it looks like you are doing a bunch of static imports (which is bad practice by the way) and you are but from waht I can tell you are using DriverManager to get your connection. If this is true and you are using DriverManager, then getting connections is very expensive! Especially once you start using a remote database. You will want to try to cache your connections. Alternatively, you could use a javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource and use getPooledConnection() which will have much higher performance for get/close scenarios and take care of the connection caching for you.
When should I turn auto-commit on/off?
Auto commit on or off isn't a huge deal. I always like to leave auto-commit on, since it is less error prone by leaving the commit responsibility up to the JDBC driver.
What will help out your performance a lot is if you batch your Statements.
For example:
try(Statement statement = conn.createStatement()){
statement.addBatch("update people set firstname='Alice' where id=1");
statement.addBatch("update people set firstname='Bob' where id=2");
statement.addBatch("update people set firstname='Chuck' where id=3");
statement.executeBatch();
}

MYSQL shows too many processes from java application

i have a java application which connects to mysql database using MYSQL connector. problem is when application started, MYSQL process list shows many connections than i requested in process list (attached image).
i have two threads running which connects to database within 5 seconds and 11 seconds. but, when i refresh mysql process list, it shows server's host ports are changing rapidely than threads are running. normally its changing 3-5 ports per second. can someone please guide me any optimizing issues or any changes to test with this?
thanks
P.S.
I have created a class which connects to DB at initialization and that class's object is in a places where needs DB connectivity. and that class having all methods which using to query from DB.
EDIT
my database connectivity class code is
public class Data{
static Connection con; //create connection
static Statement stmt; //create statement
static ResultSet rs; //create result set
static HostRead hr = new HostRead();
static int db_port = 3306;
static String db_root = "127.0.0.1";
static String db_name = "chsneranew";
static String db_user = "root";
static String db_pass = "";
/**Constructer method*/
public Data(){
this(db_root,db_port,db_name,db_user,db_pass);
if(getConnection()==null){
System.out.println("error in database connection");
}
else{
con = getConnection();
}
}
protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
try {
System.out.println("desctroyed");
con.close();
} finally {
super.finalize();
}
}
public static Connection getConnection(){
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://"+db_root+":"+db_port+"/"+db_name, db_user, db_pass);
stmt = conn.createStatement();
return conn;
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException er){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Error found ...\nDataBase Driver error (Invalid Drivers)\nUsers Cant login to system without database\n\nContact System Administrator","Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
return null;
}
catch(Exception er){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Error found ...\nDataBase Access error (Invalid Authentication)\nOr\nDataBase not found. Details are not be loaded \n\nUsers Cant login to system without database\n\nContact System Administrator","Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
return null;
}
}
public String getUserName(){
try{
Statement stmt2 = getConnection().createStatement();
ResultSet rss2;
String sql = "SELECT name FROM gen";
rss2 = stmt2.executeQuery(sql);
if(rss2.next()){
return rss2.getString("name");
}
}
catch(Exception er){
er.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
i am calling getUserName()method in my threads. using
Data d = new Data();
d.getUserName();

conn.close();
You need to close the connection, the connection is not closed that is why it is still there in the list. You need to Connection conn above so that it may be visible to rest of the code.

You are calling the getConnection() method three times when you want to read the data via the getUserName() method. Two times in the constructor when your constructor of the Data class is called (one for the if(...) check, one for the con = getConnection() line) and one time when you actually want to read the data at the getConnection().createStatement() line. So you have three connections to the database, and that is just the getUserName method...
Rewrite your code that only one connection is established and this connection is reused for any further execution.

How to use connection pooling

I am new in connection pooling.I have a created a connection pool in mysql that adds five connections.Now i want to know what is the application of connection pooling,i.e after creating that pool how to use that.. i am pasting my code here
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.Vector;
import com.mysql.jdbc.Connection;
class ConnectionPoolManager {
String databaseUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/homeland";
String userName = "root";
String password = "root";
Vector connectionPool = new Vector();
public ConnectionPoolManager() {
initialize();
}
public ConnectionPoolManager(
// String databaseName,
String databaseUrl, String userName, String password) {
this.databaseUrl = databaseUrl;
this.userName = userName;
this.password = password;
initialize();
}
private void initialize() {
// Here we can initialize all the information that we need
initializeConnectionPool();
}
private void initializeConnectionPool() {
while (!checkIfConnectionPoolIsFull()) {
System.out
.println("Connection Pool is NOT full. Proceeding with adding new connections");
// Adding new connection instance until the pool is full
connectionPool.addElement(createNewConnectionForPool());
}
System.out.println("Connection Pool is full.");
}
private synchronized boolean checkIfConnectionPoolIsFull() {
final int MAX_POOL_SIZE = 5;
// Check if the pool size
if (connectionPool.size() < 5) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
// Creating a connection
private Connection createNewConnectionForPool() {
Connection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
connection = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(databaseUrl,
userName, password);
System.out.println("Connection: " + connection);
} catch (SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println("SQLException: " + sqle);
return null;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println("ClassNotFoundException: " + cnfe);
return null;
}
return connection;
}
public synchronized Connection getConnectionFromPool() {
Connection connection = null;
// Check if there is a connection available. There are times when all
// the connections in the pool may be used up
if (connectionPool.size() > 0) {
connection = (Connection) connectionPool.firstElement();
connectionPool.removeElementAt(0);
}
// Giving away the connection from the connection pool
return connection;
}
public synchronized void returnConnectionToPool(Connection connection) {
// Adding the connection from the client back to the connection pool
connectionPool.addElement(connection);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
new ConnectionPoolManager();
}
}
can any one help?

The purpose of connection pooling is to maintain a number of open connections to a database so that when your application requires a connection it does not have to go through the potentially resource and time intensive process of opening a new connection.
When an application requires a database connection it 'borrows' one from the pool. When it's done, it gives it back and that connection may be reused at some later point.
Once you have obtained a connection, you use it in your application through the JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) API.
Oracle's basic tutorial for using JDBC can be found at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/index.html
Another thing to keep in mind is that alot of work has gone into developing connection pools already, and it probably is not necessary to reinvent the wheel, except perhaps as a learning excercise. Apache Tomcat's connection pool implementation can be used outside of Tomcat (for example, in a standalone Java application) and is fairly flexible and easy to configure. It can be found at https://people.apache.org/~fhanik/jdbc-pool/jdbc-pool.html

I would say the code is pretty self explanatory.
You create an instance of the pool, personally, I prefer to use a singleton, but that's another topic
ConnectionPoolManager connectionPoolManager = new ConnectionPoolManager();
Now, every body that wants a connection, is going to need a reference to this manager. When you need to, you request a free connection from the pool...
public void queryDatabaseForStuff(ConnectionPoolManager cpm) throws SQLException {
Connection con = cpm.getConnectionFromPool();
//....
Once you're finished with the connection, you pass it back to the manager...
try {
//...
} finally {
cmp.returnConnectionToPool(con);
}
Now. You might like to investigating a blocking process that will block the current call to getConnectionFromPool while the pool is empty, meaning that it will either throw an exception (if you want to include a time out feature) or a valid connection.
When re-pooling a Connection, you might like to check to see if the Connection has been closed or not and have some kind of revival process to ensure that the pool is awlays close to capcaity...

Please check this link for getting detailed answer - https://examples.javacodegeeks.com/core-java/sql/jdbc-connection-pool-example/
You don't need to recreate your Connection object pool , instead please use the libraries provided by Apache . Please be clear of the following :
1 - Why and what made you think of connection pool ?
2 - Use the following Apache commons-dbcp lib in your Maven project and then use the classes as per documentation .
3. Does this solve all your problems ?

ITs Better to perform the connection pooling via in built API
Like
DBCP or this.
Its always better let these API perform the connection pooling and programmatically creating and maintaining the connection pooling always painful activity.
