Hello I am trying to get a SELECT stament to work i Java. The staement has a parameter, but Eclipse gives me the following error message:

You have an error in your SQL syntax, check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL version......

Is it possible to show me how to use ' and " in the statement

String todo = ("SELECT * FROM Emp WHERE Name = '"+text1+"')")

More details:

public ResultSet connectTwo(String text1) {
		  Connection conn = null;
		  try {
		      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
		      conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/test", "root", "Mg78QnuE");
		  	      
		      String todo = ("SELECT * FROM Emp WHERE Name = '"+text1+"')") ;

Thank You!

Hi,

It seems that final query string which you are passing to mysql is not correctly formatted.

1.
      String todo = ("SELECT * FROM Emp WHERE Name = '"+text1+"')")

I see a closing bracket there ")" try removing that.

Also is better to output your final "todo" String before passing it to execute. then you will have clear idea whether query string is correct or not.

Thanks

Thank You Javin.
I wrote the String 'todo' to console and validated that it worked.

I have one Java class with the method connectTwo (returning a Resultset) as below:

public ResultSet connectTwo(String text1) {
		  Connection conn = null;
		  try {
		      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
		      conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/test", "root", "Mg78QnuE");
		  	  
		      String todo = ("SELECT * FROM Emp WHERE Name =' "+text1+" ' ");
		      System.out.println(todo);
		      
		      Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
	          rs = statement.executeQuery(todo);
 
	            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "it worked!","Yeah",
                      JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
			  
		    } catch(Exception e) {
	            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessage(),"Error",
                      JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
			}
		    
		    finally {
		    	try 	{
		    		if(conn != null)
		    			conn.close();
		    	} catch(SQLException e) {}
		    }
		return rs;
		}

I also have another Java class with the method calculateOperation()

private void CalculateOperation()
    {
        ControllerNewYork controller = new ControllerNewYork();
        ResultSet res = controller.connectTwo(txtName.getText());
        
        try {
			while (res.next()) {                              
				String navn = res.getString("Name");
				System.out.println(navn);
			}
		} catch (SQLException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
  
        clearControls();
    }

My question is, do you think it is possible to say (as I actually do):

ControllerNewYork controller = new ControllerNewYork();
        ResultSet res = controller.connectTwo(txtName.getText());
        
        try {
			while (res.next()) {                              
				String navn = res.getString("Name");
				System.out.println(navn);

The print I get to console is:

SELECT * FROM Emp WHERE Name =' Erik Arisholm '

I wonder where I close my resultset?

(Stacktrace: Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed)

Can you see where?

Hi, I have some additional information.

private void calculateOperation()
    {
        ControllerNewYork controller = new ControllerNewYork();
        ResultSet res = controller.connectTwo(txtName.getText());
        
       String st = res.toString();
        
        System.out.println(st);

The print I get to console is

com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4ResultSet@18a992f

What is this?

Thank You.

Do not cobble together SQL statements like this. See the API docs and the JDBC tutorials for PreparedStatement.

You do not call toString on a ResultSet. What that is the classname and the Hash Address for the object (I.E. the result of Object's toString method).

For the "Operation Not Allowed" error, if you would take the time to look at the API docs, you would see that whenever you execute a query using a Statement object all currently opened ResultSets associated with (i.e. created using) that Statement object will be automatically closed. Use a separate statement object for any additional queries you wish to do while still using the ResultSet of another.
