PreparedStatement.execute() returns false even there is resultset in SQL server?

My sql query consists of 5 part which are highly connected to each other. First part creates a temporary table, second part uses that temporary table and creates another temporary table, third part uses the temporary table that created in second part and again creates another temporary table. And the 4th part select some data from 3rd temporary table and 5th part selects the count of 3th temporary table.
Since temporary tables are only usable within a preparedStatement (what I mean is that a temporary table which created by a preparedStatement are not usable from another preparedStatement, I tried that before it is okey) I need to do that within a prepare statement.
So the first 3 part creates temporary tables because of that after setting the parameters to preparedStatement I run preparedStatement.execute() 3 times(I also tried 1....x times) and then I run the preparedStatement.execute() but it returns false which means that there is no resultset. Why is that?
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = conn.prepareStatement("select * into #tmp from tablex where ...\n" +
" select * into #tmp2 from #tmp where ...\n" +
" select * into #tmp3 from #tmp2 where ...\n" +
" select * from #tmp3\n" +
" select count(*) from #tmp3");
Above, I added a simple illustration. Here I need to get the result of 4th and 5th query with prepared statement. How can I do that?

The statements you're executing produce the following results:
An update count
An update count
An update count
A result set
A result set
The meaning of the boolean false returned by execute(String) is:
true if the first result is a ResultSet object; false if it is
an update count or there are no results
This means that you need to use getUpdateCount() to obtain the (first) update count, and getMoreResults() to get the next result (again, this returns a boolean with the same meaning). Only if execute() or getMoreResults() returns false and getUpdateCount() returns -1 are there no more results.
You need to do something like:
boolean nextResultSet = statement.execute(...);
int resultSetCount = 0;
while (true) {
if (nextResultSet) {
resultSetCount++;
try (ResultSet rs = statement.getResultSet()) {
// Do something with result set
}
} else {
int updateCount = statement.getUpdateCount();
if (updateCount == -1) {
// no more results
break;
}
// do something with update count
}
nextResultSet = statement.getMoreResults();
}
You can probably skip part of this complexity by adding SET NOCOUNT ON as the first statement you execute; then you'll not get the update counts and only need to handle the two result sets.

SQL query use to return latest ID from mysql database, not it returns 99999

My server would retrieve the latest ID from the database, now it is stuck and keeps returning the id 99999, even though the latest id is now 100040
My code is:
String insertTable = "SELECT * FROM dutyofcare ORDER BY Id DESC LIMIT 1";
ps = conn.prepareStatement(insertTable);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
String ResultS = "";
if (rs.next()) {
ResultS += rs.getString("Id");
}

The issue is that the ORDER BY in your query is doing a lexical (character-by-character) sort where 9 always comes after 1, and not numeric sort which handles the digit positions. This is because of the column type of ID. What you need is to ensure ID is a number before the sort is done.
Either change your ID to a numeric column type and run below query:
SELECT MAX(ID) from dutyofcare;
Or if you want to retain your column type (less efficient than above option):
select MAX(cast(ID AS UNSIGNED)) from dutyofcare;
Or if you want to retain your column type AND just fix your existing query (least efficient of all the options)
select * from dutyofcare order by CAST(ID AS UNSIGNED) desc limit 1;
All these methods basically treat the ID as number and choose the biggest value.

How to resolve ORA-01795 in Java code

I am getting ORA-01795 error in my Java code while executing more than 1000 records in IN clause.
I am thinking to break it in the batch of 1000 entries using multiple IN clause separated by OR clause like below:
select * from table_name
where
column_name in (V1,V2,V3,...V1000)
or
column_name in (V1001,V1002,V1003,...V2000)
I have a string id's like -18435,16690,1719,1082,1026,100759... which gets generated dynamically based on user selection. How to write a logic for condition like 1-1000 records ,1001 to 2000 records etc in Java. Can anyone help me here?

There are three potential ways around this limit:
1) As you have already mentioned: split up the statement in batches of 1000
2) Create a derived table using the values and then join them:
with id_list (id) as (
select 'V1' from dual union all
select 'V2' from dual union all
select 'V3' from dual
)
select *
from the_table
where column_name in (select id from id_list);
alternatively you could also join those values - might even be faster:
with id_list (id) as (
select 'V1' from dual union all
select 'V2' from dual union all
select 'V3' from dual
)
select t.*
from the_table t
join id_list l on t.column_name = l.id;
This still generates a really, really huge statement, but doesn't have the limit of 1000 ids. I'm not sure how fast Oracle will parse this though.
3) Insert the values into a (global) temporary table and then use an IN clause (or a JOIN). This is probably going to be the fastest solution.

With so many values I'd avoid both in and or, and the hard-parse penalty of embedded values, in the query if at all possible. You can pass an SQL collection of values and use the table() collection expression as a table you can join your real table to.
This uses a hard-coded array of integers as an example, but you can populate that array from your user input instead. I'm using the built-in collection type definitions, like sys.odcinumberlist, which us a varray of numbers and is limited to 32k values, but you can define your own table type if you prefer or might need to handle more than that.
int[] ids = { -18435,16690,1719,1082,1026,100759 };
ArrayDescriptor aDesc = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST", conn );
oracle.sql.ARRAY ora_ids = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(aDesc, conn, ids);
sql = "select t.* "
+ "from table(?) a "
+ "left join table_name t "
+ "on t.column_name = a.column_value "
+ "order by id";
pStmt = (OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(sql);
pStmt.setArray(1, ora_ids);
rSet = (OracleResultSet) pStmt.executeQuery();
...
Your array can have as many values as you like (well, as many as the collection type you use and your JVM's memory can handle) and isn't subject to the in list's 1000-member limit.
Essentially table(?) ends up looking like a table containing all your values, and this is going to be easier and faster than populating a real or temporary table with all the values and joining to that.
Of course, don't really use t.*, list the columns you need; I'm assuming you used * to simolify the question...
(Here is a more complete example, but for a slightly different scenario.)

I very recently hit this wall myself:
Oracle has an architectural limit of a maximum number of 1000 terms inside an IN()
There are two workarounds:
Refactor the query to become a join
Leave the query as it is, but call it multiple times in a loop, each call using less than 1000 terms
Option 1 depends on the situation. If your list of values comes from a query, you can refactor to a join
Option 2 is also easy, but less performant:
List<String> terms;
for (int i = 0; i <= terms.size() / 1000; i++) {
List<String> next1000 = terms.subList(i * 1000, Math.min((i + 1) * 1000, terms.size());
// build and execute query using next1000 instead of terms
}

In such situations, when I have ids in a List in Java, I use a utility class like this to split the list to partitions and generate the statement from those partitions:
public class ListUtils {
public static <T> List<List<T>> partition(List<T> orig, int size) {
if (orig == null) {
throw new NullPointerException("The list to partition must not be null");
}
if (size < 1) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The target partition size must be 1 or greater");
}
int origSize = orig.size();
List<List<T>> result = new ArrayList<>(origSize / size + 1);
for (int i = 0; i < origSize; i += size) {
result.add(orig.subList(i, Math.min(i + size, origSize)));
}
return result;
}
}
Let's say your ids are in a list called ids, you could get sublists of size at most 1000 with:
ListUtils.partition(ids, 1000)
Then you could iterate over the results to construct the final query string.

How to get number of rows from a resultResult?

I use the below approach to determine my result set is not empty and proceed to do assertions on the values.
...
resultSet = statement.executeQuery("select count(*) as rowCount from tbName where...");
while (resultSet.next()) {
rowCount = Integer.parseInt(resultSet.getString("rowCount"));
}
Assert.assertTrue(rowCount > 0);
resultSet = statement.executeQuery("select * from tbName where ...");
while (resultSet.next()) {
//do some assertions on values here.
}
...
Is there anyway to get the number of rows directly from the resultSet directly in a single query? Something like the below?
resultSet = statement.executeQuery("select * from tbName where ...");
if( resultSet.count/length/size > 0) {
}

You can change the query to include a column with the row count:
select t.*, count(*) over () as row_count
from tbName t
where ...
then you can get the count using
int rowCount rs.getInt("row_count");
Note that you won't get a 0 count because that means the actual query did not return anything in the first place. So you can't use that to verify if your query returned anything. If you only want to check if the result is empty, use next()
resultSet = statement.executeQuery(".....");
if (resultSet.next()) {
// at least one row returned
} else {
// no rows returned at all
}
Btw: you should always use the getXXX() method that matches the column's data type. Using getString() on all columns is not a good idea.

1) Moves the cursor to the last row: resultset.last();
2)Retrieves the current row number: int count = resultset.getRow();
Tips:
It's based on you create a statement via calling function "
Statement createStatement(int resultSetType,int resultSetConcurrency)
throws SQLException"
to gernerate a scrollable resultSet.

There are two ways to get number of rows.
1) if you want to check the number of rows exist in table you may use count query.
2) if you want to count number of rows in a result set you have to traverse that result set to count rows.

Trying to pass a Java variable into a sql string

I've had a look around on the web but can't seem to find a definite answer to my question.
Basically, I have a database and table that are successfully working. Now I want to read each line from my table one by one and store the result into a array and I am trying to use a for loop to be more professional rather then using repetition.
I have this code
for (int i=1; i<=8; i++)
{
String query = "Select * FROM Table1 WHERE ID = i";
Rs = St.executeQuery(query);
COL1Title[i] = Rs.getString("CO1Name");
COL2Age[i] = Rs.getString("CO2Rating");
}
The for loop is in a try catch statement and it's complaining with the error "Unknown column 'i' in 'where clause'"
Im guessing there's a certain way for how variable i is to be inserted in the the query.
I should point out ID is a column that has the auto increment feature added on and is primary key if that helps
Could anyone help me out here?

First, we can simplify the task be executing a single query. Note the addition of the range limit and the ORDER BY - without an ORDER BY the results have an unspecified order!
PreparedStatement stmt = "Select ID, CO1Name, CO2Rating"
+ " FROM Table1"
+ " WHERE ID >= ? AND ID <= ?"
+ " ORDER BY ID";
And bind in placeholders (unless there is good reason otherwise, always use placeholders when injecting data into a query). The values could have been hard-coded above in this case, just as they are hard-coded in the for-loop, but the binding is shown here for future reference:
stmt.setInt(1, 1);
stmt.setInt(2, 8);
Then execute the query:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
And iterate the results. Note that rs.next() must be invoke once before any column is read (the cursor starts before any records) and, in this case, it makes it easy to handle a bunch of results.
while (rs.next()) {
int id = rs.getInt("ID");
String title = rs.getString("CO1Name");
String name = rs.getString("CO2Rating");
// do stuff with this record
}
Note that even though the ORDER BY guarantees that the results are iterated in order of ID, assuming a database cardinality rule ensures each result has a unique ID, there may be 0 to 8 records returned - that is, non-existent records may need to be detected/handled separately.
Also (but not shown), make sure to cleanup (close) the ResultSet when done: use a try/finally or try-with-resources construct.

You need to pass i in string as integer, Replace line by:
String query = String.format("Select * FROM Table1 WHERE ID = %d",i);
