JDBC query does not return any values without errors

I have a local SQL-Server running MariaDB and need to query Data from a database using Java and JDBC. I can connect to the Database and also write data, but a simple SELECT does not work.
I already tried to use different versions of the mysql-java-connector and checked that the SQL-Server is up to date.
Connecting to Database:
//Check wether connection already exists
if(connection != null && !connection.isClosed()){
return;
}
//Create new connection
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/statdb", "root", "");
System.out.println("Connected to Database");
//Update guilds from Database
updateGuildsInDatabase();
The method called at the end looks like this:
private void updateGuildsInDatabase() throws SQLException {
//Check for not existing connection
if(connection == null || connection.isClosed()){
init();
return;
}
ArrayList<String> localInDb = new ArrayList<>();
Statement qGStmt = connection.createStatement();
//Execute Query
ResultSet guilds = qGStmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM guilds;");
guilds.first();
//Adding results to List
while(guilds.next()){
localInDb.add(guilds.getString("guild_uid").toLowerCase());
}
System.out.println("Queried: " + localInDb.size());
this.guildsInDb = localInDb;
}
The table "guilds" in the database "statdb" has two columns named "guild_uid" (primary key, varchar) and "display_name" (varchar). I've added one entry with the values "guild_1" and "Test Guild".
As I have one entry in the table 'guilds' I would expect the console to look like this:
Connected to Database
Queried: 1
But the actual output looks like this:
Connected to Database
Queried: 0

The ResultSet#first() method itself moves the cursor to the first row of the result set. The ResultSet#next() method then moves the cursor forward by one, and reads whatever record is there, if a record is there.
Therefore, using your pattern will always result in skipping the first record from the result set. If the result set happens to have only a single record, then the record count will appear to be zero.
You should probably remove the call to ResultSet#first(). Use this instead:
ResultSet guilds = qGStmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM guilds;");
while(guilds.next()) {
localInDb.add(guilds.getString("guild_uid").toLowerCase());
}
System.out.println("Queried: " + localInDb.size());
this.guildsInDb = localInDb;
The reason why calling ResultSet#next() on a fresh result set logically works, is that by default a JDBC result set actually does not start pointing to the first record. Rather, we typically advance it to the first record with the very first call to ResultSet#next().

I don't think you need guilds.first(). Try removing it.
According to the ResultSet JavaDoc:
A ResultSet cursor is initially positioned before the first row; the first call to the method next makes the first row the current row; the second call makes the second row the current row, and so on.
I believe what is happening here is, guilds.first() set the cursor from before first row to first row. And guilds.next() in the while loop move the cursor to further one step ahead. Therefore, you are missing the first row.

The other two Answers are correct, you are skipping the first row when retrieving from the result set. No need for your line guilds.first(); as they explained, the result set automatically points at first row by default.
Example code, retrieving from ResultSet
Here is a complete example using the H2 Database Engine. This shows creating a new database (in-memory, not persisted to disk), adding a table, populating that table with a few rows, and then retrieving all those rows through a ResultSet.
The key line is while ( rs.next() ) {.
package work.basil.example;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
public class GuildDemo {
public static void main ( String[] args ) {
GuildDemo app = new GuildDemo();
app.doIt();
}
private void doIt ( ) {
DataSource dataSource = null;
final String catalogName = "guild_demo_";
final String tableName = "guild_";
// Verify JDBC driver.
try {
Class.forName( "org.h2.Driver" );
JdbcDataSource ds = new JdbcDataSource(); // The `javax.sql.DataSource` interface implemented by `org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource`.
ds.setURL( "jdbc:h2:mem:" + catalogName + ";DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1" ); // Set delay to -1 to keep in-memory database even after last connection closed.
ds.setUser( "scott" );
ds.setPassword( "tiger" );
ds.setDescription( "Dummy database for demo showing how to retrieve rows from a ResultSet." );
dataSource = ds; // Generalize from the concrete class to the interface.
} catch ( ClassNotFoundException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
// Connect, and create database.
try (
Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection() ;
) {
String sql = null;
// Create table.
try ( Statement stmt = conn.createStatement() ; ) {
sql = "CREATE TABLE " + "guild_" + " ( \n" +
" pkey_ UUID DEFAULT random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY , \n" +
" name_ VARCHAR NOT NULL \n" +
") ; \n";
System.out.println( "TRACE - SQL:\n" + sql );
stmt.execute( sql );
}
// Add rows.
sql = "INSERT INTO guild_ ( name_ ) \n" +
"VALUES ( ? ) " +
"; ";
List < String > names = List.of( "Alpha" , "Beta" , "Gamma" , "Delta" ); // Insert a row for each of these names.
System.out.println( "Inserting list of names: " + names );
try (
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement( sql ) ;
) {
for ( String name : names ) {
ps.setString( 1 , name );
ps.executeUpdate();
}
}
// Retrieve rows from a `ResultSet`.
sql = "SELECT * FROM " + "guild_" + " ;";
try (
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement() ;
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql ) ;
) {
while ( rs.next() ) {
UUID pkey = rs.getObject( "pkey_" , UUID.class );
String name = rs.getString( "name_" );
System.out.println( "Row pkey_: " + pkey + " name_: " + name );
}
}
} catch ( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
When run.
Inserting list of names: [Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta]

How do I get the last inserted primary key? [duplicate]

I want to INSERT a record in a database (which is Microsoft SQL Server in my case) using JDBC in Java. At the same time, I want to obtain the insert ID. How can I achieve this using JDBC API?

If it is an auto generated key, then you can use Statement#getGeneratedKeys() for this. You need to call it on the same Statement as the one being used for the INSERT. You first need to create the statement using Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS to notify the JDBC driver to return the keys.
Here's a basic example:
public void create(User user) throws SQLException {
try (
Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT,
Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
) {
statement.setString(1, user.getName());
statement.setString(2, user.getPassword());
statement.setString(3, user.getEmail());
// ...
int affectedRows = statement.executeUpdate();
if (affectedRows == 0) {
throw new SQLException("Creating user failed, no rows affected.");
}
try (ResultSet generatedKeys = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (generatedKeys.next()) {
user.setId(generatedKeys.getLong(1));
}
else {
throw new SQLException("Creating user failed, no ID obtained.");
}
}
}
}
Note that you're dependent on the JDBC driver as to whether it works. Currently, most of the last versions will work, but if I am correct, Oracle JDBC driver is still somewhat troublesome with this. MySQL and DB2 already supported it for ages. PostgreSQL started to support it not long ago. I can't comment about MSSQL as I've never used it.
For Oracle, you can invoke a CallableStatement with a RETURNING clause or a SELECT CURRVAL(sequencename) (or whatever DB-specific syntax to do so) directly after the INSERT in the same transaction to obtain the last generated key. See also this answer.

Create Generated Column
String generatedColumns[] = { "ID" };
Pass this geneated Column to your statement
PreparedStatement stmtInsert = conn.prepareStatement(insertSQL, generatedColumns);
Use ResultSet object to fetch the GeneratedKeys on Statement
ResultSet rs = stmtInsert.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs.next()) {
long id = rs.getLong(1);
System.out.println("Inserted ID -" + id); // display inserted record
}

When encountering an 'Unsupported feature' error while using Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS, try this:
String[] returnId = { "BATCHID" };
String sql = "INSERT INTO BATCH (BATCHNAME) VALUES ('aaaaaaa')";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql, returnId);
int affectedRows = statement.executeUpdate();
if (affectedRows == 0) {
throw new SQLException("Creating user failed, no rows affected.");
}
try (ResultSet rs = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getInt(1));
}
rs.close();
}
Where BATCHID is the auto generated id.

I'm hitting Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 from a single-threaded JDBC-based application and pulling back the last ID without using the RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS property or any PreparedStatement. Looks something like this:
private int insertQueryReturnInt(String SQLQy) {
ResultSet generatedKeys = null;
int generatedKey = -1;
try {
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.execute(SQLQy);
} catch (Exception e) {
errorDescription = "Failed to insert SQL query: " + SQLQy + "( " + e.toString() + ")";
return -1;
}
try {
generatedKey = Integer.parseInt(readOneValue("SELECT ##IDENTITY"));
} catch (Exception e) {
errorDescription = "Failed to get ID of just-inserted SQL query: " + SQLQy + "( " + e.toString() + ")";
return -1;
}
return generatedKey;
}
This blog post nicely isolates three main SQL Server "last ID" options:

I hope this helps!

You can use following java code to get new inserted id.
ps = con.prepareStatement(query, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ps.setInt(1, quizid);
ps.setInt(2, userid);
ps.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = ps.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs.next()) {
lastInsertId = rs.getInt(1);
}

It is possible to use it with normal Statement's as well (not just PreparedStatement)
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
int updateCount = statement.executeUpdate("insert into x...)", Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
try (ResultSet generatedKeys = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (generatedKeys.next()) {
return generatedKeys.getLong(1);
}
else {
throw new SQLException("Creating failed, no ID obtained.");
}
}

Most others have suggested to use JDBC API for this, but personally, I find it quite painful to do with most drivers. When in fact, you can just use a native T-SQL feature, the OUTPUT clause:
try (
Statement s = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(
"""
INSERT INTO t (a, b)
OUTPUT id
VALUES (1, 2)
"""
);
) {
while (rs.next())
System.out.println("ID = " + rs.getLong(1));
}
This is the simplest solution for SQL Server as well as a few other SQL dialects (e.g. Firebird, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, where you'd use RETURNING instead of OUTPUT).
I've blogged about this topic more in detail here.

With Hibernate's NativeQuery, you need to return a ResultList instead of a SingleResult, because Hibernate modifies a native query
INSERT INTO bla (a,b) VALUES (2,3) RETURNING id
like
INSERT INTO bla (a,b) VALUES (2,3) RETURNING id LIMIT 1
if you try to get a single result, which causes most databases (at least PostgreSQL) to throw a syntax error. Afterwards, you may fetch the resulting id from the list (which usually contains exactly one item).

In my case ->
ConnectionClass objConnectionClass=new ConnectionClass();
con=objConnectionClass.getDataBaseConnection();
pstmtGetAdd=con.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT_ADDRESS_QUERY,Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
pstmtGetAdd.setString(1, objRegisterVO.getAddress());
pstmtGetAdd.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(objRegisterVO.getCityId()));
int addId=pstmtGetAdd.executeUpdate();
if(addId>0)
{
ResultSet rsVal=pstmtGetAdd.getGeneratedKeys();
rsVal.next();
addId=rsVal.getInt(1);
}

If you are using Spring JDBC, you can use Spring's GeneratedKeyHolder class to get the inserted ID.
See this answer...
How to get inserted id using Spring Jdbctemplate.update(String sql, obj...args)

If you are using JDBC (tested with MySQL) and you just want the last inserted ID, there is an easy way to get it. The method I'm using is the following:
public static Integer insert(ConnectionImpl connection, String insertQuery){
Integer lastInsertId = -1;
try{
final PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(insertQuery);
ps.executeUpdate(insertQuery);
final com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement psFinal = (com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement) ps;
lastInsertId = (int) psFinal.getLastInsertID();
connection.close();
} catch(SQLException ex){
System.err.println("Error: "+ex);
}
return lastInsertId;
}
Also, (and just in case) the method to get the ConnectionImpl is the following:
public static ConnectionImpl getConnectionImpl(){
ConnectionImpl conexion = null;
final String dbName = "database_name";
final String dbPort = "3306";
final String dbIPAddress = "127.0.0.1";
final String connectionPath = "jdbc:mysql://"+dbIPAddress+":"+dbPort+"/"+dbName+"?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false";
final String dbUser = "database_user";
final String dbPassword = "database_password";
try{
conexion = (ConnectionImpl) DriverManager.getConnection(connectionPath, dbUser, dbPassword);
}catch(SQLException e){
System.err.println(e);
}
return conexion;
}
Remember to add the connector/J to the project referenced libraries.
In my case, the connector/J version is the 5.1.42. Maybe you will have to apply some changes to the connectionPath if you want to use a more modern version of the connector/J such as with the version 8.0.28.
In the file, remember to import the following resources:
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl;
Hope this will be helpful.

Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("Host","user","pass");
Statement st = cn.createStatement("Ur Requet Sql");
int ret = st.execute();

How to call the result of a consult and put it in a Textfield? Mysql + Java

my textfield is called pruebamax
With this function I make the connection with the database
public ResultSet getmax() {
ResultSet r = null;
try {
String sql = "select count(*) as Cantidad from tbl_padre";
System.out.println(sql);
Statement st = cx.createStatement();
r = st.executeQuery(sql);
System.out.println(st.executeQuery(sql));
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Tmrptryone.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
return r;
}
his method in the event of a button, with this method I want to print in the textfield the data I receive from the database but I got an error.
public void actualizatext() {
try {
ResultSet r = mrp.getmax();
if (r.next()) {
String ID = r.getString("Cantidad");
pruebamax.setText(ID);
}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

Now, I don't know what pruebamax means but the SQL statement you used:
String sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS Cantidad FROM tbl_padre";
is specifically used to count the total number of records currently maintained within the specified database table (tbl_padre). The value from that count will be held in the specified temporary field named: Cantidad. When you Use the SQL COUNT statement you are not going to be returned a String data type value. You will be expected to try and acquire a Integer value.
It will not acquire a value from your table ID field as what it looks like you expect.
To properly retrieve the records count from your applied SQL string then it should be used in this fashion:
int count = 0;
try {
String sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS rCount FROM tbl_padre";
Statement st = cx.createStatement();
ResultSet r = st.executeQuery(sql);
while (r.next()) {
count = r.getInt("rCount");
}
r.close();
st.close();
// Close your DB connection as well if desired.
// yourConnection.close();
//To apply this value to your JTextField:
pruebamax.setText(String.valueOf(count));
System.out.println("Total number of records in the tbl_padre " +
" table is: " + count);
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
Try not to use actual table field names for temporary field names.
If you want to be more specific with your count then your SQL statement must be more specific as well. For example, let's assume that we want to count the number of records maintained in our table where a field named Age contains a value which is greater than 30 years old, our sql statement would look like this:
String sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS rCount FROM tbl_padre WHERE Age > 30";
You will of course have noticed the use of the SQL WHERE clause.

This solution worked for me!
I hope this helps!

You can use following java code to get new inserted id.
ps = con.prepareStatement(query, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ps.setInt(1, quizid);
ps.setInt(2, userid);
ps.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = ps.getGeneratedKeys();
if (rs.next()) {
lastInsertId = rs.getInt(1);
}

It is possible to use it with normal Statement's as well (not just PreparedStatement)
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
int updateCount = statement.executeUpdate("insert into x...)", Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
try (ResultSet generatedKeys = statement.getGeneratedKeys()) {
if (generatedKeys.next()) {
return generatedKeys.getLong(1);
}
else {
throw new SQLException("Creating failed, no ID obtained.");
}
}

Most others have suggested to use JDBC API for this, but personally, I find it quite painful to do with most drivers. When in fact, you can just use a native T-SQL feature, the OUTPUT clause:
try (
Statement s = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(
"""
INSERT INTO t (a, b)
OUTPUT id
VALUES (1, 2)
"""
);
) {
while (rs.next())
System.out.println("ID = " + rs.getLong(1));
}
This is the simplest solution for SQL Server as well as a few other SQL dialects (e.g. Firebird, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, where you'd use RETURNING instead of OUTPUT).
I've blogged about this topic more in detail here.

With Hibernate's NativeQuery, you need to return a ResultList instead of a SingleResult, because Hibernate modifies a native query
INSERT INTO bla (a,b) VALUES (2,3) RETURNING id
like
INSERT INTO bla (a,b) VALUES (2,3) RETURNING id LIMIT 1
if you try to get a single result, which causes most databases (at least PostgreSQL) to throw a syntax error. Afterwards, you may fetch the resulting id from the list (which usually contains exactly one item).

In my case ->
ConnectionClass objConnectionClass=new ConnectionClass();
con=objConnectionClass.getDataBaseConnection();
pstmtGetAdd=con.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT_ADDRESS_QUERY,Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
pstmtGetAdd.setString(1, objRegisterVO.getAddress());
pstmtGetAdd.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(objRegisterVO.getCityId()));
int addId=pstmtGetAdd.executeUpdate();
if(addId>0)
{
ResultSet rsVal=pstmtGetAdd.getGeneratedKeys();
rsVal.next();
addId=rsVal.getInt(1);
}

If you are using Spring JDBC, you can use Spring's GeneratedKeyHolder class to get the inserted ID.
See this answer...
How to get inserted id using Spring Jdbctemplate.update(String sql, obj...args)

If you are using JDBC (tested with MySQL) and you just want the last inserted ID, there is an easy way to get it. The method I'm using is the following:
public static Integer insert(ConnectionImpl connection, String insertQuery){
Integer lastInsertId = -1;
try{
final PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement(insertQuery);
ps.executeUpdate(insertQuery);
final com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement psFinal = (com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement) ps;
lastInsertId = (int) psFinal.getLastInsertID();
connection.close();
} catch(SQLException ex){
System.err.println("Error: "+ex);
}
return lastInsertId;
}
Also, (and just in case) the method to get the ConnectionImpl is the following:
public static ConnectionImpl getConnectionImpl(){
ConnectionImpl conexion = null;
final String dbName = "database_name";
final String dbPort = "3306";
final String dbIPAddress = "127.0.0.1";
final String connectionPath = "jdbc:mysql://"+dbIPAddress+":"+dbPort+"/"+dbName+"?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false";
final String dbUser = "database_user";
final String dbPassword = "database_password";
try{
conexion = (ConnectionImpl) DriverManager.getConnection(connectionPath, dbUser, dbPassword);
}catch(SQLException e){
System.err.println(e);
}
return conexion;
}
Remember to add the connector/J to the project referenced libraries.
In my case, the connector/J version is the 5.1.42. Maybe you will have to apply some changes to the connectionPath if you want to use a more modern version of the connector/J such as with the version 8.0.28.
In the file, remember to import the following resources:
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionImpl;
Hope this will be helpful.

Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("Host","user","pass");
Statement st = cn.createStatement("Ur Requet Sql");
int ret = st.execute();

PLSQL JDBC: How to get last row ID?

What's PLSQL (Oracle) equivalent of this SQL server snippet?
BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO mytable(content) VALUES ("test") -- assume there's an ID column that is autoincrement
SELECT ##IDENTITY
COMMIT TRAN
In C#, you can call myCommand.ExecuteScalar() to retrieve the ID of the new row.
How can I insert a new row in Oracle, and have JDBC get a copy of the new id?
EDIT:
BalusC provided a very good starting point. For some reason JDBC doesn't like named parameter binding. This gives "Incorrectly set or registered parameters" SQLException. Why is this happening?
OracleConnection conn = getAppConnection();
String q = "BEGIN INSERT INTO tb (id) values (claim_seq.nextval) returning id into :newId; end;" ;
CallableStatement cs = (OracleCallableStatement) conn.prepareCall(q);
cs.registerOutParameter("newId", OracleTypes.NUMBER);
cs.execute();
int newId = cs.getInt("newId");

Normally you would use Statement#getGeneratedKeys() for this (see also this answer for an example), but this is as far (still) not supported by the Oracle JDBC driver.
Your best bet is to either make use of CallableStatement with a RETURNING clause:
String sql = "BEGIN INSERT INTO mytable(id, content) VALUES (seq_mytable.NEXTVAL(), ?) RETURNING id INTO ?; END;";
Connection connection = null;
CallableStatement statement = null;
try {
connection = database.getConnection();
statement = connection.prepareCall(sql);
statement.setString(1, "test");
statement.registerOutParameter(2, Types.NUMERIC);
statement.execute();
int id = statement.getInt(2);
// ...
Or fire SELECT sequencename.CURRVAL after INSERT in the same transaction:
String sql_insert = "INSERT INTO mytable(content) VALUES (?)";
String sql_currval = "SELECT seq_mytable.CURRVAL FROM dual";
Connection connection = null;
PreparedStatement statement = null;
Statement currvalStatement = null;
ResultSet currvalResultSet = null;
try {
connection = database.getConnection();
connection.setAutoCommit(false);
statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql_insert);
statement.setString(1, "test");
statement.executeUpdate();
currvalStatement = connection.createStatement();
currvalResultSet = currvalStatement.executeQuery(sql_currval);
if (currvalResultSet.next()) {
int id = currvalResultSet.getInt(1);
}
connection.commit();
// ...

You can use Oracle's returning clause.
insert into mytable(content) values ('test') returning your_id into :var;
Check out this link for a code sample. You need Oracle 10g or later, and a new version of JDBC driver.

You can use getGeneratedKeys(), By explicitly selecting key field.
Here is a snippet:
// change the string to your connection string
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("connection string");
// assume that the field "id" is PK, and PK-trigger exists
String sql = "insert into my_table(id) values (default)";
// you can select key field by field index
int[] colIdxes = { 1 };
// or by field name
String[] colNames = { "id" };
// Java 1.7 syntax; try-finally for older versions
try (PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(sql, colNames))
{
// note: oracle JDBC driver do not support auto-generated key feature with batch update
// // insert 5 rows
// for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
// {
// preparedStatement.addBatch();
// }
//
// int[] batch = preparedStatement.executeBatch();
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
// get generated keys
try (ResultSet resultSet = preparedStatement.getGeneratedKeys())
{
while (resultSet.next())
{
// assume that the key's type is BIGINT
long id = resultSet.getLong(1);
assertTrue(id != 0);
System.out.println(id);
}
}
}

In case if you use spring-jdbc for database you can consider neat wrappers from morejdbc, it will look like this:
import static org.morejdbc.SqlTypes.BIGINT;
import static org.morejdbc.JdbcCall.callSql;
import static org.morejdbc.*;
...
Out<Long> idOut = Out.of(BIGINT);
jdbcTemplate.execute(callSql("BEGIN INSERT INTO mytable(id, content) VALUES (seq_mytable.NEXTVAL(), ?) "
+ "RETURNING id INTO ?; END;")
.in(content)
.out(BIGINT, idOut));
System.out.println("Id is " + idOut.get());
If you have a pojo like
#lombok.Data
public class Entity {
private long id;
private String content;
}
it can be even more laconic:
Entity entity = ;
jdbcTemplate.execute(callSql("BEGIN INSERT INTO mytable(id, content) VALUES (seq_mytable.NEXTVAL(), ?) "
+ "RETURNING id INTO ?; END;")
.in(entity.getContent())
.out(BIGINT, entity::setId));
System.out.println("Id is " + entity.get());
