NamedParameterJdbcTemplate Oracle SQL, how to escape single quote in named query? - java

I have the following code where I can't seem to figure out how to escape the single quotes around my named parameter. In the resulting query, I need to have single quotes on either side of it:
public List<Vehicle> findByApplicationId(String applicationId) {
// example application id is a string like 12345
MapSqlParameterSource sqlParameterSource = new MapSqlParameterSource();
sqlParameterSource.addValue("applicationId", applicationId);
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append("SELECT make, model");
stringBuilder.append(" FROM vehicle");
stringBuilder.append(" WHERE model IN (SELECT id FROM auto WHERE model_app IN (");
stringBuilder.append(":applicationId");
stringBuilder.append("))");
// in the resulting query the applicationId must appear
// as '12345', meaning with single quotes around it
return jdbcTemplate.query(stringBuilder.toString(), sqlParameterSource,
// lambda used as row mapper
(resultSet, rowNumber) -> {...
...
I've tried to put double single quotes around the name parameter as in stringBuilder.append("'':applicationId''");, that didn't work. I tried single single quotes and many other such combinations of single and double quotes based on other answers I've seen on SO. Can't seem to get it.

Turns out my problem wasn't single quotes at all as suggest by Alex Poole (thank you Alex). It was that my Java string needed to be cast to the Oracle type CHAR(17). After I did that no quotes, single or double, were necessary and my named parameters resolved correctly and the query worked.

Jdbc template named parameters for querying with IN clause

I need to copy the records of one table to another table based on some condition.
String query = "insert into public.ticket_booking_archive select * from public.ticket_booking where ticketId in (:ticketIds)";
So here the :ticketIds are dynamic, where i need to pass ticketIds to make sure whether it satisfies the condition. So it may be the matching and non matching ticket id's here at runtime.
The values of ticketIds are something like this
('f1fa3a42-5837-11ec-bf63-0242ac130002','516fd14d-3c9d-4b4b-91a0-b684d8592dfe','c9652f86-734c-4df5-8ef9-d407cb3eaf7a','df7f2812-b445-45b4-b731-da23c36d7738','f1fa3a42-5837-11ec-bf63-0242ac130002'). And this is just an example. And the list might goes on.
Since it is of type UUID, I'm storing it into a Set<UUID>
Set<UUID> tktIds = new HashSet<UUID>();
for(int i=0 ; i<ticketIds.size(); i++) {
String ticketId = ticketIds[i];
tktIds.add(UUID.fromString(ticketId));
}
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("ticketIds", tktIds);
SqlParameterSource namedParameters =
new MapSqlParameterSource().addValue("ticketIds",params.get("ticketIds"));
Since I'm using NamedParameterJdbcTemplate, so I'm using like below
int res = writeNamedJdbcTemplate.update(query, namedParameters);
res = 3 when executed programmatically.
Here the problem is, as soon as it finds the first matching value in the IN clause it executes. And it is not considering the other matching values (ticketIds here)
But if I execute the same query in pgadmin it works fine
insert into public.ticket_booking_archive select * from public.ticket_booking where ticketId in ('f1fa3a42-5837-11ec-bf63-0242ac130002','516fd14d-3c9d-4b4b-91a0-b684d8592dfe','c9652f86-734c-4df5-8ef9-d407cb3eaf7a','df7f2812-b445-45b4-b731-da23c36d7738','f1fa3a42-5837-11ec-bf63-0242ac130002');
result is 6. Working as expected.
writeNamedJdbcTemplate.queryForObject(query, namedParameters, Integer.class); //. throws an error
Can anyone please assist? I'm really not sure where I'm making a mistake
I am not quite sure whether you are using the appropriate JDBC template for the named parameters, but you can do the following:
you can consult this article to use the right template and employ proper SQL query composition,
for string passing you can wrap the parameter mapping as shown here
after all your named parameter should work

Is there way to wrap string with single quotes in Prepared statement setString()?

I have this column in a MySQL table which has a JSON string and I'm trying to pull records using regex.
For example, the column 'paylod' (datatype long text) holds this value
{
"type":"assignment",
"location":"12345"
}
I'm using RLIKE to fetch records based on location.
select * from table where payload RLIKE '"location":"[[:<:]]12345[[:>:]]"';
When using this query in java, I'm using prepared statement.
String pattern = "\"location\":\"[[:<:]]12345[[:>:]]\""
And when I use preparedStatement.setString(payload, pattern), I'm not getting any results back. But when I execute the query in workbench, I see the rows fetched.
I'm guessing it's because I'm using setString, it is wrapping pattern with double quotes and MySQL is not able to parse it.
So is there a way forward? My requirement is to get records based on key-value pair in the JSOn payload column.
Alright, adding escape character in string helped.
String pattern = "'\"location'\":'\"[[:<:]]12345[[:>:]]'\"";
String patternValue = pattern.replaceAll("'","\\\\");
So the string becomes \"location\":\"[[:<:]]12345[[:>:]]\" where \ serves as escape character for " in mysql, when string is wrapped inside ""

Passing String value to SQL bigint column

Given following Statment:
String query = "Select * from T_spareParts where SparePartPK IN (? )"
In my BackBean (JSF 2) I first iterate through all cars in table and build a String of all the cars currently selected (by picking each cars ID as primary key) so the final String before being passed to SQL could look like:
String finalString = " '1','2','3','4'";
And then :
this.prepareStatement= this.connection.prepareStatement(query);
this.prepareStatement.setString(1,finalString);
this.prepareStatement.executeQuery();
Exception thrown is:
Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
Now my understanding is that exception is due to SparePartPK is type bigint and we're passing a String .
But in SQL Server (2008) i can do :
Select * from T_spareParts where SparePartPK IN ('1','2','3','4')"
which returns results as expected. Why am i getting the exception and how can i correct the issue? (also feel free to comment if this isn't the best approach)
Update:
I've also tried to produce the finalString without single quotes which causes the same exception to be thrown :
String finalString = " 1,2,3,4";
You should put the numbers into an array (not a string), and use preparedStatement.setArray()
Thanks for the suggestions. Though as an alternative I created a StoredProcedure where it takes one parameter and inside the StoredProcedure i run the above Query in question formulating the IN section using the passed parameter .
So all above code still applies, The parameter passed to the storeDProcedure is one String separated by , without the single quotes.
Might not be the optimum answer but works quit well :) .

JAVA: NamedQuery String problem

Hello guys I am having some problems with exact matches while doing a NamedQuery.
I am currently using something like this:
#NamedQuery(name = MyClass.GET_ENTRY_BY_NAME, query = "select e from Entry e where e.name =:"+ Entry.NAME )
...
Query query = em.createNamedQuery(MyClass.GET_ENTRY_BY_NAME);
query.setParameter(Entry.NAME, myEntry.getName());
It works for most cases, however I noticed that in case the user pass the file name with an space at the end, the namedQuery ignores that character. For example:
Query query = em.createNamedQuery(MyClass.GET_ENTRY_BY_NAME);
query.setParameter(Entry.NAME, myEntry.getName()+ " ");
Will return the same result as the query before. Bypassing my 'valid entry' validation. In other words I'd like the query to return no entry at all and treat the error later on.
One workaround I could think of, is to put single quotes surrounding my parameter in the namedQuery, like this:
#NamedQuery(name = MyClass.GET_ENTRY_BY_NAME, query = "select e from entry e where e.name =':"+ Entry.NAME "'")
However it will trash my code in case the String contains single quotes in it...
Any ideas guys?
I guess this happens because your database field is declared as CHAR(...), and therefore stored values are padded with whitespaces which are not taken into account by = operation.
So, you may either declare your database field as VARCHAR(...) or use a built-in trim function:
query = "select e from Entry e where trim(trailing from e.name) =:"+ Entry.NAME
I did some research in JPA and found out that it does some automatic trimming for CHARs, I am not sure if this behaves the same with Strings, but since it is happening to me... I believe so. The only way to bypass it is by setting some attribute within the session DatabaseLogin object (see http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/api/1.1/org/eclipse/persistence/sessions/DatabaseLogin.html#setShouldTrimStrings) .
Well I didn't want to be messing up with the session properties so I decided to make some sort of check and throwing the same exception as the NoResultException catch does in my code.
I basically took the result from the database and compared the field with the String I used:
query.setParameter(Entry.NAME, myEntry.getName());
...
if(!StringUtils.equals(result.getName(), myEntry.getName()){
do a cool throw just like NoResultException Catch
}
I also had to include the Trim function axtavt! This is just to make sure that if the database has a column with trailing spaces and it matches the parameter given by the user, it will be included as a valid answer. For example:
Database entry: Name = "Flavio " - Trimmed with Function = "Flavio".
Parameter passed: Name = "Flavio " - Trimmed by JPA automatic function = "Flavio".
If it isnt trimmed at all it will just Compare "Flavio " with "Flavio", returning NoResult when it was supposed to return that Entry.
Nasty workaround, but as long as there is no other way to stop the auto-trimming we will have to just make use of this sort of things.
Thanks for all the other answers!!

Configure Hibernate to escape underscores in LIKE clause using SQL Server dialect

I have a SQL SELECT query which has a LIKE clause containing an underscore, which should specifically look for an underscore, not treat it as a wildcard:
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE name LIKE '_H9%';
I understand that I can change the actual clause to '[_]H9%' for this to work as I expect, but the problem is that this clause is being generated by Hibernate.
Is there a way to configure Hibernate to escape all underscores in all queries in this way? Failing that, is there a way to configure SQL Server (2008 in my case) to not treat underscores as wildcards?
If you're using Criteria to create the query, you can create your own expression which subclasses org.hibernate.criterion.LikeExpression, using one of the protected constructors that takes in 'Character escapeChar', and does substitution in the value for you. Assuming that '!' is a known value that won't be in any search strings (you can pick any you like, I guess), you can just do:
public class EscapingLikeExpression extends LikeExpression {
public EscapingLikeExpression(String propertyName, String value) {
super(propertyName, escapeString(value), '!', false);
}
static String escapeString(String inputString) {
inputString = inputString.replace("_", "!_");
return inputString;
}
}
if there ARE no such characters (that won't appear in your search value as literals) then add the following as the first line of escapeString() to escape those too:
inputString = inputString.replace("!", "!!");
Why can you not do a string replacement on the value? How is this being used so that this is a non-workable solution?
