How to use Resultset?

I am using a mysql table, and now I need to compare a columns all values with a given String.
I want to check if all values of the result set matches with encryptedString.
Need to understand what result set does and how it works.
Here I have a method, Some variables, and 2 mysql queries.
final String secretKey = "!!!!";
String name = jText.getText();
String pass = jTextPass.getText();
String originalString = pass;
String encryptedString = AES.encrypt(originalString, secretKey) ;
String decryptedString = AES.decrypt(encryptedString, secretKey) ;
PreparedStatement PS;
ResultSet result;
String query1 = "SELECT `pass` FROM `Remember_Pass` WHERE `name` =?";
PreparedStatement ps;
String query;
query = "UPDATE `tutor profile` SET `pass`=? WHERE `name`=?";
try {
PS = MyConnection.getConnection().prepareStatement(query1);
PS.setString(1, name);
PS.setString(2, encryptedString);
rs = PS.executeQuery();
//while(result.next() ){
//I am not understanding what to do here.
ps = MyConnection.getConnection().prepareStatement(query);
ps.setString(1, encryptedString);
ps.setString(2, name);
ps.executeUpdate();
PassSuccess success = new PassSuccess();
success.setVisible(true);
success.pack();
success.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.dispose();
//}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ForgetPassT.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

First tip: using try-with-resources closes statement and result set even on exception or return. This also reduces the number of variable names for them because of the smaller scopes. This return from the innermost block I utilized. For unique names one can use if-next instead of while-next. A fail-fast by not just logging the exception is indeed also better; you can exchange the checked exception with a runtime exception as below, so it easier on coding.
String query1 = "SELECT `pass` FROM `Remember_Pass` WHERE `name` = ?";
String query = "UPDATE `tutor profile` SET `pass`=? WHERE `name`= ?";
try (PreparedStatement selectPS = MyConnection.getConnection().prepareStatement(query1)) {}
selectPS.setString(1, name);
//selectPS.setString(2, encryptedString);
try (ResultSet rs = selectPS.executeQuery()) {}
if (result.next()){ // Assuming `name` is unique.
String pass = rs.getString(1);
try (PreparedStatement ps = MyConnection.getConnection().prepareStatement(query)) {
ps.setString(1, encryptedString);
ps.setString(2, name);
int updateCount = ps.executeUpdate();
if (updateCount == 1) {
PassSuccess success = new PassSuccess();
success.setVisible(true);
success.pack();
success.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
return success;
}
}
}
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ForgetPassT.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
throw new IllegalStateException(e);
} finally {
dispose();
}

the ResultSet object contains all the information about the query that you perform, it will contain all columns. In your code the result variable will return anything since there is no part in your code where is executed, to do this you have to...
Statement statement = MyConnection.getConnection().createStatement();
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("YOUR SELECT STATEMENT HERE");
while(result.next()){
String column1 = result.getString("columnName");
}
The result.next() method is a boolean method that says if the ResultSet object still have values of the table inside and it will continue until it reaches the last row that your SELECT statement retrives. Now if you want to match the value of some column with other variables you can do it inside the while(result.next()).
result.getString("columnName") will extract the value from columnName as a String.
If you want to save things in an ArrayList to save the data and then use this list as you want the code can be like...:
Statement statement = MyConnection.getConnection().createStatement();
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("YOUR SELECT STATEMENT HERE");
List<Object> data = new ArrayList();
while(result.next()){
data.add(result.getString("columnName"));
}
return data;
Obviously you have to change the Object with the type of things that you want to store in the List.
Or if you want to store the data in an array. As I said in my comment this won't be dinamic, but...:
Statement statement = MyConnection.getConnection().createStatement();
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("YOUR SELECT STATEMENT HERE");
String[] data = new String[NUMBER_OF_COLUMNS_IN_RESULTSET];
while(result.next()){
data[0] = result.getString("columnName1");
data[1] = result.getString("columnName2");
data[2] = result.getString("columnName3");
//And so on...
}
return data;
The other way is that if you are returning an entity you can set the values of the ResultSet directly in the POJO:
Statement statement = MyConnection.getConnection().createStatement();
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery("YOUR SELECT STATEMENT HERE");
Entity entity = new Entity();
while(result.next()){
entity.setColumnName1(result.getString("columnName1"));
entity.setColumnName2(result.getString("columnName2"));
entity.setColumnName3(result.getString("columnName3"));
//And so on...
}
return entity;
There are so many ways to store the data, just ask yourself how do you want to receive the data in the other parts of you code.

find a name in a sqlite table and return the id?

What I'm trying to do seems simple but I get this error SQLITE_ERROR] SQL error or missing database (no such column: user1)
public String getIdUser(String name) {
try {
this.stat = conn.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT id_user FROM User WHERE name = " + name;
ResultSet user = stat.executeQuery(sql);
return user.toString();
} catch (SQLException e) {
return null;
}
}

Replace
String sql = "SELECT FROM User WHERE name = " + name;
with
String sql = "SELECT * FROM User WHERE name = " + name; // you can also specify a column/columns instead of *

I see many problems in your code :
First
Your query should return something it should be :
SELECT col_name1, col_name2, ... FROM User ...
Or if you want to select every thing :
SELECT * FROM User ...
Second
String or Varchar should be between two quotes, your query for example should look like :
SELECT col_name1 FROM User WHERE name = 'name'
Third
I don't advice to use concatenation of query instead use Prepared Statement it is more secure and more helpful (I will provide an example)
Forth
To get a result you have to move the cursor you have to call result.next()
Fifth
Name of variable should be significant for example ResultSet should be ResultSet rs not ResultSet user
Your final code can be :
PrepareStatement prst = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT colName FROM User WHERE name = ?");
prst.setString(1, name);
ResultSet rs = prst.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()){
reuturn rs.getString("colName");
}

Without quoting the name string it's interpreted as column name, and thus the error you see. You could surround it with single quotes, but that's still generally a bad practice, and will leave the code vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
Additionally, you're missing the select list (specifically, the id_user column), and missing getting it from the result set.
And finally, you forgot to close the statement and the result set.
If you put all of these corrections together, you should use something like this:
public String getIdUser(String name) {
try (PreparedStatmet ps =
conn.prepareStatement("SELECT id_user FROM User WHERE name = ?")) {
ps.setString(1, name);
try (ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery()) {
if (rs.next()) {
return rs.getString(1);
}
}
} catch (SQLException ignore) {
}
return null;
}

JAVA GUI - GET and SHOW DATA FROM MYSQL

I am working on a GUI app with MySQL access. When user enters some data in JTextField 'VendorID', I want it to be searched in the database, find the proper line with information and show all the columns in other JtextFields seperately. Actually I wanted this data to be showed in JLabel but unsuccessful, so trying now with JtextFields. Appreciate any help from you.
public void findVendor() {
String vatEntered = vendorID.getText();
try
{
String myDriver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String myUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/masterdata_db?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false";
Class.forName(myDriver);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(myUrl, "root", "");
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String check = "SELECT * FROM vendorcreation WHERE VAT = 'vatEntered' ";
ResultSet resultSet = st.executeQuery(check);
boolean status = true;
if(resultSet.next()==status){
nameSelected.setText(resultSet.getString(1));
adressSelected.setText(resultSet.getString(2));
countrySelected.setText(resultSet.getString(3));
vatSelected.setText(resultSet.getString(4));
ptermsSelected.setText(resultSet.getString(5));
conn.close();
}
else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "NO DATA FOUND! FIRST YOU MUST CREATE IT", "Inane error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
dispose();
new CreateVendor().setVisible(true);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

From what I'm understanding, you're having trouble executing the statement?
You need to set up the statement as following:
String check = "SELECT * FROM vendorcreation WHERE VAT = " +vatEntered ;
But it is better to use a prepared statement instead.
String check = "SELECT * FROM vendorcreation WHERE VAT = ?";
PreparedStatement st = conn.prepareStatement(check);
st.setString(1, vatEntered);
ResultSet resultSet = st.executeQuery();
As for categorizing data, the order seems to depend on the order that the column is in the database. What you can also do is to manually set the result by changing the statement:
String check = "SELECT (column1, column2) FROM vendorcreation WHERE VAT = ?"//etc
where resultSet.getString(1); would be data from column1.

JSP: problems with multiple queries and generated keys

I have this java method:
public boolean insertAuthor(String userid, String password){
try{
String query1 = "INSERT INTO user (id, firstName, lastName, belonging, country) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)";
PreparedStatement stmt = this.dbConn.prepareStatement(query1);
stmt.setInt(1,0);
stmt.setString(2,"default"); //Yes, it's correct with "default"
stmt.setString(3,"default");
stmt.setString(4,"default");
stmt.setString(5,"default");
//stmt.executeUpdate();
stmt.executeUpdate(query1, PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ResultSet rs = stmt.getGeneratedKeys();
int key=0;
if ( rs.next() ) {
key = rs.getInt(1);
}
String query2 = "INSERT INTO authentication (id, address, password, user_id, login_id) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?)";
stmt = this.dbConn.prepareStatement(query2);
stmt.setInt(1,0);
stmt.setString(2,"default");
stmt.setString(2,password);
stmt.setInt(2,key);
stmt.setString(2,userid);
stmt.executeUpdate();
return true;
}catch(Exception e){
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
return false;
}
Let me explain: I would like to execute two queries and the second one need the key that is generated in the first query (I need the primary key of the table "user" because user-authentication is a 1:1 relationship).
So:
Is this the correct way to execute more than one query?
Am I missing something with the returning key? Because if I run ONLY executeUpdate() and I comment every row below it the method works fine, but when I run the code in the example (with the first executeUpdate() commented) I get false (only false, no exception). Do I have to check something in my database?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I found a solution. It was an error in columns and not in the method for getting the generated key itself. I will choose Joop Eggen's answer for the improvements that he showed me. Thanks!

There were a couple of improvements needed.
String query1 = "INSERT INTO user (firstName, lastName, belonging, country)"
+ " VALUES(?,?,?,?)";
String query2 = "INSERT INTO authentication (address, password, user_id, login_id)"
+ " VALUES(?,?,?,?)";
try (PreparedStatement stmt1 = this.dbConn.prepareStatement(query1,
PreparedStatement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
stmt2 = this.dbConn.prepareStatement(query2)) {
stmt1.setString(1, "default");
stmt1.setString(2, "default");
stmt1.setString(3, "default");
stmt1.setString(4, "default");
stmt1.executeUpdate();
try (ResultSet rs = stmt1.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (rs.next()) {
int userid = rs.getInt(1);
stmt2.setString(1, "default");
stmt2.setString(2, password);
stmt2.setInt(3, key);
stmt2.setString(4, userid);
stmt2.executeUpdate();
return true;
}
}
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
return false;
Try-with-resources close automatically, also on exception and return.
You have two prepared statements to close.
The executeUpdate with the SQL is for the parents class Statement, and does disrespect the parameter settings. You chose that for the generated keys parameter, but that goes into Connection.prepareStatement.
(SQL) The generated keys should not be listed/quasi-inserted.
It is debatable whether one should catch the SQLException here. throws SQLException is what works for me.

I'll advise you have a username field in your user table so after inserting you can simply do a Select id from user Where username...

how to display results on label with sql

UPDATE
i changed sql query (just test it and it works on sql but still not working with java dont no why :(
Hi how to add get result on jLabel with this code? and is it possible to show results on jTable?
private void searchTeacherActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
String sql = ("select student_ID, firstName, afterName FROM student JOIN studentHom ON course = studentHom_ID WHERE prefect = ?
try {
pst = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pst.setString(1, larareSoka.getText());
pst.execute();
} catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, e);
}
}

First don't use (?) you can just use ?:
select ... where course.courseStart = ? and course.corse.end = ?
Second you have to set parametters to your query in your case you have tow, so you have to use :
pst.setString(1, value_of_courseStart);
pst.setString(2, value_of_corse.end);
Third to get results you have to use ResultSet like this :
ResultSet result = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
if (result.next()) {
String firstname = result.getString(1);
//----------------------------------^
//...same for the other columns
}
or you can use the name of column like this:
ResultSet result = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
if (result.next()) {
String firstname = result.getString("firstName");
//--------------------------------------^^
//...same for the other columns
}
Note
If you want to get multiple result you ca use while instead of if.
Your query is a little wired why you are using :
course.courseStart = (?) and course.corse.end = (?)
//no point---^ ^------Why this point here
Did you mean course.courseStart = ? and course.corseEnd = ?

ResultSet rs = pst.executeQuery();
String firstname = rs.getString("firstname");
..
jLable.setText(firstname);
...You need to read the data from the resultset
