Bogus data in ResultSet

I'm having some issues with my ResultSet using JDBC.
Here's my relation:
create table person (
person_id number(5) generated always as identity
minvalue 1
maxvalue 99999
increment by 1 start with 1
cycle
cache 10,
firstname varchar(10) not null,
lastname varchar(10) not null,
);
I'm trying to insert a (firstname, lastname) into the tuple and then get the person_id that comes out of it. Here's my JDBC code:
//connection is taken care of beforehand and is named con
prep = con.prepareStatement("insert into person (firstname, lastname) values (?, ?)", Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
prep.setString(1, firstname);
prep.setString(2, lastname);
prep.execute();
ResultSet generated = prep.getGeneratedKeys();
if (generated.next()) {
String key = generated.getString("0");
System.out.println(key);
}
This works all fine. But my problem is that the key should be an integer, not a String. Every time I run this, I get a ResultSet that contains a string of "AAA3vaAAGAAAFwbAAG", or something along those lines. I want to get the person_id so I can use it later in my Java program.
Is there something I'm doing wrong in regards to searching through the ResultSet or the execution of the statement itself?

tl;dr
int id = generated.getInt( 1 ) ;
Details
Your Question seems confused.
There are two forms of each get… method on ResultSet.
Pass a column number (an int)
Pass a column name (a String)
You seem to have combined the two into this:
String key = generated.getString( "0" ) ;
I doubt that you have a column named with a single digit zero. Besides being a poor choice of name, standard SQL forbids starting an identifier with a digit.
So that line makes no sense. Perhaps you meant the first column by using a zero 0 and mistakenly wrapped it in quotes, thereby transforming your intended int into an actual String.
Even that intention would be wrong. The ResultSet::getString documentation incorrectly describes the int as an “columnIndex”. Usually “index” means a zero-based counting offset. But actually ResultSet::getString( int ) requires you pass an ordinal number with counting starting at one. So getString( 0 ) is never valid.
So if you want to retrieve the value of your result set’s first column as text, do this:
String key = generated.getString( 1 ) ; // Retrieve first column of result set as text.
Yet again, this would be wrong in the context of your code. You are apparently attempting to retrieve the primary key values being generated during the INSERT. Your primary key column person_id is defined as number(5) which is not a textual type. So retrieving as a String is not appropriate.
NUMBER(5) is not standard SQL. If you happen to be using Oracle database, the doc says that would be an integer type with a precision of five, meaning numbers with up to five digits. So retrieve that as a integer type in Java by calling ResultSet::getInt.
int id = generated.getInt( 1 ) ; // Retrieve the new row’s ID from the first column of the result set of generated key values returned by the `INSERT` prepared statement.
My comments above are for databases in general. But for Oracle specifically, see the Answer by Mark Rotteveel explaining that Oracle database does not return the generated sequence number when calling getGeneratedKeys. Instead it returns ROWID pseudo-column.

Your problem is that Oracle by default returns the ROWID of the inserted record, and not the generated identifier. From Oracle JDBC Developer's Guide: Retrieval of Auto-Generated Keys:
If key columns are not explicitly indicated, then Oracle JDBC drivers
cannot identify which columns need to be retrieved. When a column name
or column index array is used, Oracle JDBC drivers can identify which
columns contain auto-generated keys that you want to retrieve.
However, when the Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS integer flag is
used, Oracle JDBC drivers cannot identify these columns. When the
integer flag is used to indicate that auto-generated keys are to be
returned, the ROWID pseudo column is returned as key. The ROWID
can be then fetched from the ResultSet object and can be used to
retrieve other columns.
So, if you use Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS, you'll get the ROWID, and you can then use that ROWID to select the inserted row to obtain the other values (including the generated identifier).
If you want to specifically retrieve the generated id, for Oracle you'll need to explicitly ask for that column as follows:
String[] columns = { "PERSON_ID" }
prep = con.prepareStatement(
"insert into person (firstname, lastname) values (?, ?)", columns);
prep.setString(1, firstname);
prep.setString(2, lastname);
prep.executeUpdate();
ResultSet generated = prep.getGeneratedKeys();
if (generated.next()) {
int key = generated.getInt("PERSON_ID");
System.out.println(key);
}

SQL works from PMA but not Java

I have a prepared statement like so:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ? (uuid VARCHAR(128), item VARCHAR(48), value FLOAT, UNIQUE (uuid))
If I execute this directly in PMA, but replacing the ? with any text text, it works perfectly and it creates the table correctly. However, if I run it from Java it doesn't work.
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''Murder_PlayerData' (uuid VARCHAR(128), item VARCHAR(48), value FLOAT, UNIQUE (u' at line 1
Here's the Java code
String table = "Murder_PlayerData";
String execute = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ? (uuid VARCHAR(128), item VARCHAR(48), value FLOAT(11), UNIQUE (uuid))";
PreparedStatement statement = sql.getConnection().prepareStatement(execute);
statement.setString(1, table);
statement.execute();
Why does it work in PMA but not when I do it from Java?

Prepared statements can't be used to define table names, but to define values related to columns (insert values, values for where or having conditions, etcetera). One way to understand it is: Prepared Statements are for DML operations, not for DDL operations.
If you want to build a table on runtime, you need to build the SQL statement "by hand":
String table = "Murder_PlayerData"
String strSQL = "create table if not exists " + table + "("
// Add your column definitions
+ ")"
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute(strSQL);
Notice that, if the variable table can be filled with data provided by the user, your code will be vulnerable to SQL Injection Attacks. I recommend you don't create tables if their names must be provided by users, but rather create the tables without any user interaction and then insert the values, using some kind of key to identify which records belong to each user.

How to populate object property with value generated by Mysql Trigger in MyBatis Insert

I can't get the value back from function. It does an insert on a table and must return a number. The data is insert correctly, but the number returned is always null.
Mysql
create table driver_order (
id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
area_start varchar(200),
area_end varchar(200),
order_number varchar(200),
create_user varchar(200),
primary key (id)
);
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER seq_driver_order_number BEFORE INSERT ON driver_order
FOR each ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE seq_type INT(10);
SET seq_type = getUserNo(NEW.create_user);
SET NEW.order_number = getNextCommSequence("motor", seq_type);
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Mybatis
<insert id="insertOrder" useGeneratedKeys="true" keyProperty="id" parameterType="DriverOrder">
INSERT INTO
DRIVER_ORDER(ID,ORDER_NUMBER,AREA_START,AREA_END,CREATE_USER,CREATE_TIME)
VALUES
(#{id},
#{orderNumber,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
#{areaStart,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
#{areaEnd,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
#{createUser,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
now())
</insert>
The return Object all attributes have correctly value include id, except order_number which TRIGGER set value is return null.
Is there something wrong?

The problem is not with a trigger but how to make mybatis get value generated on mysql side during record insertion. Mybatis is rather simple tool in sense that you can't specify properties to columns mapping and everything else happens automagically.
Mybatis core is sql queries not properties-to-columns mappings like in hibernate for example. So mybatis only executes queries and simplifies setting parameters and construction objects from query result.
Nevertheless starting from version 3.2.6 you can use selectKey to get several values and set properties in the object being inserted. If you combine this with last_insert_id() you can get what you need. For your case it is done like this:
<insert id="insertOrder" parameterType="DriverOrder">
<selectKey keyProperty="id,orderNumber" keyColumn="ID,ORDER_NUMBER" order="AFTER" resultType="java.util.Map">
SELECT ID,ORDER_NUMBER FROM DRIVER_ORDER where ID = last_insert_id()
</selectKey>
INSERT INTO
DRIVER_ORDER(ID,ORDER_NUMBER,AREA_START,AREA_END,CREATE_USER,CREATE_TIME)
VALUES
(#{id},
#{orderNumber,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
#{areaStart,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
#{areaEnd,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
#{createUser,jdbcType=VARCHAR},
now())
</insert>

Assign ID number automatically

strSQL = "INSERT INTO emp(NO, EMP_NAME, EMP_TEL)VALUES(088000, 'JIMMY', *****)";
stmt.executeUpdate(strSQL);
I have this statement to insert a new employee into the database.
What if I want the employee NO to be automatically generated by adding 1 to the previous employee NO? How can this be done in JSP?

While not JSP, a possible solution would be to create an auto generated incrementing column (known as an identity column) in the database. Importantly, this avoids the race condition that exists with a solution that retrieves the current maximum and increments it.
MySQL example:
create table emp (
emp_id integer not null auto_increment,
...
);
Apache Derby example:
create table emp (
emp_id integer not null generated always as identity,
...
);
MS SQL Server 2008 R2 example:
create table emp (
emp_id integer not null identity,
...
);
The INSERT statements do not include the emp_id column. See Statement.getGeneratedKeys() for obtaining generated id if required.

Depending of your DB... I give you a mysql example.
create table emp{
NO int unsigned auto_increment,
EMP_NAME varchar(30) not null,
...
}
insert into emp(EMP_NAME,...) values ("Jimmy", ...);
Now you can ask mysql the last inserted id with
LAST_INSERT_ID()

Yes of course, you can do this by setting "employee no" to be unique and A_I (auto_increament) in this column properties

Check database Schema where you are creating table emp with ID int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
Then update the schema strSQL = "INSERT INTO emp(EMP_NAME, EMP_TEL) VALUES('ABC_NAME', '321321')";
Though it is possible BUT we should not do any logical operation into JSP. Forward all input in Servlet and do there.

There are several way to do.
Some of databases like Oracle has features like sequence, which allows you to increment numbers sequently and operates as atomic.
Set the column (possibly primary key) to auto increment ( database option ), and do not specify that "NO" in your query. That way, the NO column you didn't add will be added by database automatically.
You can get max values from database table and add 1 for new NO, or you can save those latest value even in file, memcached, whatever you want. The problem of this #3 is, if you don't make program to be atomic between GET LATEST VALUE, ADD 1, CALL DATABASE INSERT QUERY, multiple query can have same NO to use. It's OK, however, if NO is primary key since only very first update/insert query will executed and others query will be failed due to primary key unique violation... but problematic in some cases.

You can use the AUTOINCREMENT option on the field NO on the database, or execute a query like SELECT MAX(NO) FROM emp
and get the max value

I think this will be going to solve your doubt in database and use this following query as:
CREATE TABLE:
CREATE TABLE `test` (
`id` INT(5) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`emp_name` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`emp_tel` INT(5) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=INNODB AUTO_INCREMENT=5 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
INSERT TABLE METHOD:1
INSERT INTO test
VALUES (0,jmail,1234567)OR(?,?,?);
INSERT TABLE METHOD:2
INSERT INTO test (id,emp_name,emp_tel)
VALUES (0,jmail,1234567);
If you had any doubt give me comment.
And if your using the sqlyog to use the shortcut.
if your wants this method like following as:
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO test(id,emp_name,emp_tel)
VALUES (0,jmail,1234567)");
ps.executeUpdate();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO test(id,emp_name,emp_tel)
VALUES (?,?,?)");
ps.setString(1, id );
ps.setString(2, name);
ps.setString(3, tel);
ps.executeUpdate();

How can I insert new values into two related tables?

I have a store program in java and a database made in access. I already have 2 tables in my database which are the customers table and the products table.
I want to add an orders table wherein it's primary key is an autonumber and an order_line table to complete this app. I want to have tables like this..
customer(cust_id, name, ....)
orders(order_no, cust_id, date_purchased,...)
order_line(order_no, product_id, ...)
products(product_id, product_name, price,....)
When the customer purchased the products, i could insert new values to the orders table. The thing that is not clear to me is how could i insert also in the order_line table, because the order_no I created in access is of type autonumber.
Would I make a select statement first to get the order_no value to put it to the order_no in order_line's table? Or I need to put this in one query only.
Anyone with experience to this? Any advice is appreciated.

The insertion into orders and order_line table should happen in a single transaction. While doing so, if you are using plain JDBC to insert record into orders table, you can register the order_no as an OUT parameter in your CallableStatement and get the value after the statement is executed and use to set the order_no attribute on the order_line records.
// begin transaction
connection.setAutoCommit(false);
CallableStatement cs = connection.prepareCall(INSERT_STMT_INTO_ORDERS_TABLE);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.INT);
int updateCount = cs.execute();
// Check the update count.
long orderNo = cs.getInt(1);
// CallableStatement csLine for inserting into order_line table
// for (OrderLine line: orderLines) {
// Set the orderNo in line.
// set paramters on csLine.
// csLine.addBatch();
// }
// run the batch and verify update counts
connection.commit();
// connection.rollback() on error.

The JDBC-way (if you like database-independence), is to use the getGeneratedKeys() method of statement.
Use setAutoCommit(false), then execute the first query with the option Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS (eg for PreparedStatement).
Then use the getGeneratedKeys() method to retrieve the key (note: reference by column name, as the exact implementation and number of returned columns depends on the driver implementation.
And execute the second statement with that retrieved key.
Finally, commit().
