Update existing database entry in java App - java

I am currently trying to make an update application (Java based) that the user can go through and view the existing database entries (MySQL) and edit them if need be... I was wondering how to get the information for a specific entry (ie 12-1589 which is an example of what the ID or primary key would be) and fill in the text boxes with all of the information from said entry.... I may just need to walk away from the computer for a bit because i may be over-thinking it, but I don't know...
mainly i am unsure with the exact code that you would use to move to that entry and retrieve the data from just that entry.... I know how to step trough a database one entry at a time, but i would rather just jump to a specific row based off of an id number (such as above 12-1589) if at all possible....
I just tried this and i recieved an error.... The error was:
"Unknown column '12-1859' in 'where clause'"
con = DriverManager.getConnection(host, uName, uPass);
stmt = con.createStatement();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM Load_Sheet WHERE Load_Number = 12-1859 limit 1";
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
String BC = rs.getString("BC");
If anyone could give me a hand with that is going wrong i would appreciate it...
I just started getting another error along with the other one... it is :
"illegal operation on empty result set"
Though the result sets are not empty so my guess is, is that i am missing a step somewhere....

What you need is a simple WHERE statement if i understood correctly your question.
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE entry_col = "12-1589" LIMIT 1
LIMIT 1 is only added so that the MySql query only returns a single row.

Java prepared statement does not allow large strings in the where clause of the query

I am trying to retrieve data from DB2 using Java prepared statement
String select_statement = "SELECT * FROM schema_name.table_name where NME='xxx002' and LINE =7200 and FILE_NME='720001042021XYZ002' with ur";
try (Connection connection = DataBaseConnection.getGeoCarDBConnection_TESTDATA();
PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(select_statement);) {
ResultSet rs = null;
rs = ps.executeQuery();
}
The problem I am facing is that I include the FILE_NME in the where clause of the query, as shown above, 0 rows are returned. But any other string fields can be passed and I get the desired number of rows.
Any integer fields in the where clause works too.
But only the string fields that are large(In this case, FILE_NME field) are not working. In the DB2 table, where I am pulling the data from, the FILE_NME field is of varchar(30).
Things that did not work for me was
String select_statement = "SELECT * FROM schema_name.table_name where NME='xxx002' and LINE =7200 and FILE_NME = ? with ur";
then I set the String value using,
ps.setString(1, "'720001042021XYZ002'")
ps.setString(1, "720001042021XYZ002")
Both did not work.
None of the google links were helpful. Have spent more than a day on it.
This code used to work flawlessly before, Even the java version hasn't changed(as per my knowledge)
I am running it in windows 10.
Java version : 1.8 ((build 1.8.0_221-b11))
I run the same query in the database client and it works.
Someone please help me or point me in the right direction. I don't know what I am missing
Thank in advance
The problem was that there was indeed no data, I was checking the same query in the database client in a different environment. I am closing this.

Why will Ucanaccess not delete my records?

I can connect to my access database and select, insert records etc. I am now trying to delete records and as far as I can see I am using the correct syntax. I have followed just about every tutorial I can find and they are not doing anything different that I can see.
String deleteSql = "DELETE FROM table1 WHERE sometext=? or sometext=?";
ps = module.getSupportConnection().prepareStatement(deleteSql);
ps.setString(1,"four");
ps.setString(2,"five");
int rs = ps.executeUpdate();
System.out.println(rs);
I have tried it without using int rs = .. but I used it just to see what the output was and it returns '2' which is what I was expecting as there are two records that meet the criteria used. It just wont delete the records and I cant see why. I dont get any errors when running the code. I appreciate this may not be a ucanaccess issue per se.

How do I add a new row of data into my Derby database?

Using Netbeans, I have my database and table set up, and have added my data manually, in which I am able to see within my application I am building, as intended.
I would like the user to add their own data in which will be appended to a new row on the table. However, I am having trouble trying to write code in order to do this.
Class.forName("org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver").newInstance();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/stockApplication");
Statement stat = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
String insertDerbyData = "INSERT INTO TIGER_INFO"
+ "(TIGER_ID, TIGER_LOCATION)"
+ "VALUES (123456, Store)";
stat.executeUpdate(insertDerbyData);
I cannot execute the above code as I'm returned with an error mentioning that 'STORE' is not in any table. 'STORE' is meant to be a value for my 'TIGER_LOCATION' column. What's going on here?
In theory, I have two columns, and I would like to add both values, '123456' and 'Store' into their respective columns. How do I go about correctly doing so?
If TIGER_LOCATION is a string/varchar column, and Store is a string literal, then the value must be enclosed in single quotes, as in most SQL-based databases:
INSERT INTO TIGER_INFO (TIGER_ID, TIGER_LOCATION) VALUES (123456, 'Store')
Strings should be between '...' you have to use :
VALUES (123456, 'Store')

Fetching records from MySQL using LIKE and %

I have table called mpi which contains 23 columns. I have introduced the search field with button for every column where user can enter the query to fetch the records using query
query="select * from mpi where Genus ='"+genus+"'
Now I want to fetch records by giving keywords using LIKE %% but it is not working and not giving any records but if type type the full name it is working perfectly. Here is the code
String uname=request.getParameter("uname");
String full="%"+uname+"%";
dbconn=new DatabaseConnection();
conn=dbconn.setConnection();
pstmt=conn.prepareStatement("select * from mpi where Genus LIKE ?");
pstmt.setString(1, full);
res=pstmt.executeQuery
Could any one tell me where is the mistake and why I am not getting the records when I use half keyword like %keyword%.
It works (apart from the missing parentheses) and the approach with a prepared statement is entirely correct.
However I have seen a couple of code pieces like that, and always the problem lay with variables mix-up or not closing, or simple oversight. Better declare as close as possible.
try (ResultSet res = pstmt.executeQuery()) {
while (res.next()) {
..
}
} // Automatically closes res.
Also handle the life-cycle of pstmt correctly, with closing.

How to add records to databse via sql in Java

I am working a Airsoft application.
I'm trying to add records to a MS Access Database via SQL in Java. I have established a link to the database, with the following:
try
{
//String Driver = "sun.java.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://" + URL,"","");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
System.out.println("Connection Established!");
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM AirsoftGunRentals");
tblRent.setModel(DbUtils.resultSetToTableModel(rs));
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error");
}
I am using Ucanaccess to access my MS database. It is reading the database and is displaying to a JTable. However, I need to create three JButtons to add, delete and update the table. I have tried to code the add button, and I have tried to add a record, but it crashes and gives me errors.
try
{
//String Driver = "sun.java.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://" + URL,"","");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
System.out.println("Connection Established!");
String Query= "INSERT INTO AirsoftGunRentals(NameOfGun, Brand, TypeOfGuns, NumberOfMagazines,Extras,NumberAvailable,UnitRent)"+
"VALUES('"+pName+"','"+pBrand+"','"+pTypeOfGun+"','"+pNumMags+"','"+pExtras+"','"+pNumberAvail+"','"+pRent+"');";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(Query);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Success!");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error");
}
I have attempted all three, hoping for a result. But am still getting big errors. The only difference between the buttons is that one adds, one deletes and one updates the table. Other then that, the code is the same, minus variables.
As Brahim mentionned it, you should use stmt.executeUpdate(Query) whenever you update / insert or delete data. Also with this particular query, given your String concatenation (see end of line), there is no space between the ")" and the "VALUES" which probably causes a malformed query.
However, I can see from your code that you are not very experienced with such use-cases, and I'd like to add some pointers before all hell breaks loose in your project :
Use PreparedStatement instead of Statement and replace variables by placeholders to prevent SQL Injection.
The code that you are using here is extremely prone to SQL injection - if any user has any control over any of the variables, this could lead to a full database dump (theft), destruction of data (vandalism), or even in machine takeover if other conditions are met.
A good advice is to never use the Statement class, better be safe than sorry :)
Respect Java Conventions (or be coherent).
In your example you define the String Query, while all the other variables start with lower-case (as in Java Conventions), instead of String query. Overtime, such little mistakes (that won't break a build) will lead to bugs due to mistaking variables with classnames etc :)
Good luck on your road to mastering this wonderful language ! :)
First add a space before the quotation marks like this :
String Query= "INSERT INTO AirsoftGunRentals(NameOfGun, Brand, TypeOfGuns, NumberOfMagazines,Extras,NumberAvailable,UnitRent) "+
" VALUES('"+pName+"','"+pBrand+"','"+pTypeOfGun+"','"+pNumMags+"','"+pExtras+"','"+pNumberAvail+"','"+pRent+"');";
And use stmt.executeUpdate(Query); instead of : stmt.executeQuery(Query);in your insert, update and delete queries. For select queries you can keep it.
I managed to find an answer on how to add, delete and update records to a MS Access DB. This is what I found, after I declared the connection, and the prepped statement. I will try to explain to the best I can. I had to add values individually using this:
(pstmt = Prepped Statement Variable)
pstmt.setWhatever(1,Variable);
And it works fine now. I use the same method to delete and update records.
This is the basic query format:
String SQLInsert = "INSERT INTO Tbl VALUES(NULL,?,?,?,?)";
The NULL in the statement is the autonumber in the table. and .setWhatever() clause replaces the question marks with the data types. Thus manipulating the database.
Thank you everyone for all your contributions. It helped a lot, and made this section a lot more understandable.
