Auto generate key on JDBC insert in SQL Server - java

Is there a general, cross RDMS, way I can have a key auto generated on a JDBC insert? For example if I have a table with a primary key, id, and an int value:
create table test (
id int not null,
myNum int null
)
and do an insert
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("insert into test(myNum) values(?)", Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
statement.setInt(1, 555);
statement.executeUpdate();
statement.close();
I get an java.sql.SQLException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'id'.
I have a feeling this is entirely RDMS dependent. We are using using SQL Server 2005 and I have set
CONSTRAINT [PK_test] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 1) ON [PRIMARY]
in the table with no luck.

This is completely database dependent. There are two main options: 1 - DBMSs that allow an auto-increment keyword next to the primary key definition and 2 - DBMSs that provide sequence generators (that you then can use to generate the new values for the PK, for instance by writing a "before insert" trigger that automatically inserts the new value in the column before completing the insertion ).
As far as I know:
Firebird uses sequences
DB2 allows to define a column as "GENERATED BY
DEFAULT AS IDENTITY";
Interbase uses sequences (called generators)
MySQL has the "AUTO_INCREMENT" clause
Oracle uses sequences
PostgreSQL uses sequences
SQLServer has the "IDENTITY(1,1)" clause

You need to set the id column in the test table to autocreate an identity. In the case of SQL Server, you need to set the IDENTITY() property on the ID column.

This is database dependant. Oracle requires a SEQUENCE to be created and on MySQL you just set the column as auto increment.
You could always use Hibernate.

As far as I know it's database dependent. Likewise with inserting timestamps; some will insert the current time when you insert a null.

Doing an INSERT ALL using JDBC in ORACLE

I am using Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition
I want to insert records into 2 tables say TABLE1 and TABLE2 back to back using JDBC. These 2 tables have a primary key and foreign key relationship based on a common column say ID_COLUMN
I am planing to use the following single query and fire it via my Java application via JDBC:
insert all
into TABLE1 (ID_COLUMN,COL2,COL3,COL4,COL5,COL6) values(?,?,?,?,?,?)
into TABLE2 (COL1_1,COL_1_2,COL_1_3,ID_COLUMN) values('blah',42,'rubbish',
select test_ctrl.seq_test_id.nextval FROM dual)
select * from dual;
My basic requirement is that I need to INSERT TABLE2 with the latest ID_COLUMN from TABLE1 from my current session.
I know the usage of select test_ctrl.seq_test_id.nextval FROM dual in the INSERT ALL statement is not correct. But it being Oracle I cant use SCOPE_IDENTITY()
Please suggest how can I make this query work
"But it being Oracle I cant use SCOPE_IDENTITY()"
Ah but you can. In Oracle 12c they introduced identity columns: these are a special variant of virtual columns.
create table my_table (
id number generated always as identity
....
, constraint my_table_pk primary key (id)
Find out more.
I seem to have found out the answer to my question.Modified the query like this.Please take note of edme_ctrl.seq_ts_annotation_id.nextval and edme_ctrl.seq_ts_annotation_id.currval
INSERT ALL INTO "SPI7CG_CgNvI".X$ANNOTATIONS(ANNOTATION_ID,CATEGORY,REASON,COMMENTS,AUTHOR,ADJUSTMENT_TYPE,ADJUSTMENT_VALUE) VALUES (edme_ctrl.seq_ts_annotation_id.nextval, '51','33','Test Bulk Insert','kshiam','A',10) INTO "SPI7CG_CgNvI".X$DATA_ANNOTATIONS(ANNOTATION_ID, TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROW_ID,COLUMN_NAME) VALUES (edme_ctrl.seq_ts_annotation_id.currval,'W$XXXXXGNVBSNSSNDCTRSSR007',164921155,'IVXXXXXGNVBXWGSQDTWQRTR0003') select * from dual

jOOQ and bridge tables

I'm trying to imagine how to use jOOQ with bridge tables.
Suppose you have
CREATE TABLE TableA (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY
)
CREATE TABLE TableB (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY
)
CREATE TABLE TableBridge (
id BIGSERIAL,
table_a_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
table_b_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT tablea_pk_id PRIMARY KEY (table_a_id)
REFERENCES TableA (id) MATCH SIMPLE,
CONSTRAINT tableb_pk_id PRIMARY KEY (table_b_id)
REFERENCES TableB (id) MATCH SIMPLE
)
When mapping this schema using jOOQ there will be three record classes, TableARecord, TableBRecord and TableBridgeRecord.
If I want to persist through an insert a record for TableA, should I simply first create and persist the TableB records, then persit rows for TableB and then manually add the TableBridge rows? Isn't there any way to automatically save also the rows in the bridge table?
There are several ways to solve this kind of problem:
1. Do it with a "single" jOOQ statement (running three SQL statements)
The most idiomatic way to solve this kind of problem with standard jOOQ would be to write a single SQL statement that takes care of all three insertions in one go:
ctx.insertInto(TABLE_BRIDGE)
.columns(TABLE_BRIDGE.TABLE_A_ID, TABLE_BRIDGE.TABLE_B_ID)
.values(
ctx.insertInto(TABLE_A)
.columns(TABLE_A.VAL)
.values(aVal)
.returning(TABLE_A.ID)
.fetchOne()
.get(TABLE_A.ID),
ctx.insertInto(TABLE_B)
.columns(TABLE_B.VAL)
.values(bVal)
.returning(TABLE_B.ID)
.fetchOne()
.get(TABLE_B.ID)
)
.execute();
The above works with jOOQ 3.8. Quite possibly, future versions will remove some of the verbosity around returning() .. fetchOne() .. get().
2. Do it with a single SQL statement
I assume you're using PostgreSQL from your BIGSERIAL data type usage, so the following SQL statement might be an option to you as well:
WITH
new_a(id) AS (INSERT INTO table_a (val) VALUES (:aVal) RETURNING id),
new_b(id) AS (INSERT INTO table_b (val) VALUES (:bVal) RETURNING id)
INSERT INTO table_bridge (table_a_id, table_b_id)
SELECT new_a.id, new_b.id
FROM new_a, new_b
The above query is currently not supported entirely via jOOQ 3.8 API, but you can work around the jOOQ API's limitations by using some plain SQL:
ctx.execute(
"WITH "
+ " new_a(id) AS ({0}), "
+ " new_b(id) AS ({1}) "
+ "{2}",
// {0}
insertInto(TABLE_A)
.columns(TABLE_A.VAL)
.values(aVal)
.returning(TABLE_A.ID),
// {1}
insertInto(TABLE_B)
.columns(TABLE_B.VAL)
.values(bVal)
.returning(TABLE_B.ID),
// {2}
insertInto(TABLE_BRIDGE)
.columns(TABLE_BRIDGE.TABLE_A_ID, TABLE_BRIDGE.TABLE_B_ID)
.select(
select(field("new_a.id", Long.class), field("new_b.id", Long.class))
.from("new_a, new_b")
)
);
Clearly also here, there will be improvements in future jOOQ APIs.
3. Do it with UpdatableRecords
In this particular simple case, you could get away simply by calling:
TableARecord a = ctx.newRecord(TABLE_A);
a.setVal(aVal);
a.store();
TableBRecord b = ctx.newRecord(TABLE_B);
b.setVal(bVal);
b.store();
TableBridgeRecord bridge = ctx.newRecord(TABLE_BRIDGE);
bridge.setTableAId(a.getId());
bridge.setTableBId(b.getId());
bridge.store();

Java DB How to Insert Values for Foreign Keys into Table Column

I am using java DB database and NetBeans 8.0 for a desktop application
I am also using a PreparedStatement to query the database.
below is the code for creating the tables.
CREATE TABLE ALUMNUS (
ALUMNUA_ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 1, INCREMENT BY 1),
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR (45),
LAST_NAME VARCHAR (45),
OTHER_NAME VARCHAR (100)
);
CREATE TABLE DUES (
ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY (START WITH 1, INCREMENT BY 1),
PAYMENT_YEAR DATE,
AMOUNT DOUBLE,
ALUMNUS_ID INT
);
--FOREIGN KEY
ALTER TABLE APP.DUES
ADD FOREIGN KEY (ALUMNUS_ID) REFERENCES APP.ALUMNUS(ID);
Now I want to insert, delete and update the foreign key values in APP.DUES table. what is the best option; trigger , stored procedure or the preparedstatement?
An example will be good.
If you want to primarily insert into the DUES table, you would use a sub select in SQL. I havent tested it with Java DB, but it basically looks like:
INSERT INTO DUES(PAYMENT_YEAR, AMOUNT,ALUMNUS_ID)
VALUES(2014, 100.0,
(SELECT ALUMNUA_ID from ALUMNUS where ...));
You need to catch the "not found" error case and prepend a INSERT (and need to catch the duplicate case for that as well).

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();

Can I SELECT with LAST_INSERT_ID() after INSERT Batch without any cares?

I'm asking myself if it is possible to SELECT with LAST_INSERT_ID() in WHERE Clause after an batch of INSERTs without getting corrupt data in the tables? I'm thinking of the scenario that multiple users doing the same stuff at the same time. I develop an JSF Application in which this scenario can be possible.
In hard Code my SELECT after INSERTs looks like this:
preparedstatement.addBatch(
"INSERT INTO table1(all the FIELDS)"
+ "VALUES(null, ...);"
);
preparedstatement.addBatch(
"INSERT INTO table2(all the FIELDS)"
+ "VALUES(null, LAST_INSERT_ID(), ...);"
);
preparedstatement = connect.prepareStatement(
"SELECT id FROM table3 WHERE id = LAST_INSERT_ID();"
);
preparedstatement.executeBatch();
resultSet = preparedstatement.executeQuery();
Get I problems with this implementation or is there an better way?
Best Regards
You should be fine, quoting MySQL's documentation:
The ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a
per-connection basis. This means that the value returned by the
function to a given client is the first AUTO_INCREMENT value generated
for most recent statement affecting an AUTO_INCREMENT column by that
client. This value cannot be affected by other clients, even if they
generate AUTO_INCREMENT values of their own. This behavior ensures
that each client can retrieve its own ID without concern for the
activity of other clients, and without the need for locks or
transactions.
