Database query from jsp

hi! All
i am making the following query to the MySQL database from a jsp page but I get error. please help.
i am asking user to type in first few letters of person's first name and i use that string to find the match.
String getName = request.getParameter("search_name"); // gets the few letters entered by user
// fname is a field in the Employee table
rs = statement.excuteQuery("Select fname, lname, from Employee where fname.indexOf('" + getName + "') != -1");
Thanks in advance

It looks like you have Java code in your select statement.
I don't know what database your using but you want something
like this.
<%
String getName = request.getParameter("search_name");
/* I use ingress for my rdms and in ingress you use the keywork 'like'
   to match against character data. The '%' character is the wild card. So, this
   query looks for fname's that have any number of characters followed
   by the value stored in the java string getName, followed by any
   number of characters. */
rs = statement.excuteQuery("Select fname, lname, from Employee where fname like '%" + getName + "%'");

Database Access from JSP - Is it correct?

From a JSP Page, we need to retreive data from the database. We have our own application specific API commands to retreive data from database. We have doubts in using this API commands.
Approach 1:
From the jsp, send the query details to a Java file (BO). From the java file (BO), call the database and retreive the data
Approach 2:
Use the API command directly from the jsp page to retreive details from the database.
In both approaches, the same API command is going to be used. We just want to know is there any advantage in calling the database through the java file (BO) instead of directly from the jsp?
Regards,
R.Aravinth

Thanks Ram. But we are not going to have any complex
codes written for data retreival. We just epxect a
single line of code which will call database and that
API command will return us a storage variable which
we will use for displaying purpose.
ok take a look at this
//code to display lot of other stuff
<%
    try {
       //code to access db and get data;
    catch(SomeException e){
        //oh-oh you are already on the display logic and have output a lot of stuff
        //how do you handle this
%>versus this
//code in some handler or bean
   try{
           //code to get data
          //set an attribute to enable a redirect to jsp page
    catch(Exception e){
          //handle exception, log ?
          //set an attribute to enable a redirect to error page
Anyways, i wanted to know will the performance of the
page improve if we call the database from a separate
java rather than directly from jsp?As evnafets said, the answer is no. It may even be faster :)
cheers,
ram.

Database query from Java

I'm writing a Java program that needs to query a Microsoft Access database. I'm not sure how to do this. Someone said to use ODBC drivers but I don't know what these are. Any clarification/ideas would be appreciated.

There are a few easy step to set up a connection to your database in your java program.
1. establish an odbc data source in windows control panel (may be under Administrative tools).
2. you need to import the java.sql package.
3. you need a connection, so type the following into your database class:
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:/*your data source name goes here*/");
catch (ClassNotFoundException exception)
System.err.println("Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver");
exception.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
catch (SQLException exception)
System.err.println("Unable to connect");
exception.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}4. Find an SQL tutorial on the web.
5. For each query/update etc create a Statement object using the following code:
try
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
/* now use the remainder of this try block to execute your query. Each database query returns a ResultSet object */
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("/*your query string goes here*/");
/* the next() method in ResultSet returns true if there are any more records, like an iterator. Therefore, you know if there are any results or not*/
if (resultSet.next())
/* If your query was a 'SELECT * FROM ...etc' then you will get a whole row from the table(s) within the database. if you need to extract a number from that record and you know the column number, then use the following */
int id = resultSet.getInt(1);
/* where 1 corresponds to the first column in the table, and so on. Ifyou want to extract a String, the use the getString() method*/
catch (SQLException exception)
}That's basically the easiest way to go about it (I think). Best to consult a book for a more in-depth look. Try Java - How to Program, by Deitel and Deitel (available at www.deitel.com). I found this very useful.

Problem while querying from jsp

I have a query like this ...
Select name,description,start_date from Events where TO_CHAR(start_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')='09/19/2004';
I want to execute the same query using java for which i say
String QQQ="Select name,description,start_date from Events where TO_CHAR(start_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')='?/?/?'"
PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(QQQ);
stmt.setString(1,"09");
stmt.setString(2,"27");
stmt.setString(3,"2004");
But I am not getting the results. Is there anything wrong with the Qusetion marks(?) in the query ?
I get the results if i directly enter the value for the question mark.
Please help.
Thanks.

You would either need to explicitly concatenate the bind variables, i.e.
String QQQ="Select name,description,start_date from Events where TO_CHAR(start_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')=? || '/' || ? || '/' || ?"or you would need to have a single bind variable and pass the whole string
String QQQ="Select name,description,start_date from Events where TO_CHAR(start_date,'MM/DD/YYYY')=?"
stmt.setString(1, "09/27/2004" );Justin

Database Access from JSP

I'm trying to access a SQL Server database through an ODBC connection on a JSP page and having difficulties. This is the code that I'm using:
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ODBCConnection", "username", "password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet results = stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT numUserID, txtUsername, txtPassword FROM tblUsers");
while (results.next()) {
int DBuserid = results.getInt("numUserID");
String DBusername = results.getString("txtUsername");
String DBpassword = results.getString("txtPassword");
conn.close();
} catch (Exception exc) {
out.println ("Exception \"" + exc + "\" occured....<br>");
exc.printStackTrace();
I've got two servers I'm testing it on. One is the IBM WebSphere 3.5 on Windows NT 4 and the other one is the Oracle 9i Server (Apache) with java support on Windows 2000. The code works fine on the Oracle server, but does not work on the WebSphere. I am getting a "java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Client unable to establish connection" exception. The problem is that I need to run this thing on the WebSphere server.
I guess this might have something to do with the Java server differences or OS differences, but I don't know what that could be. I'm sure there's something that I'm not doing right, I just need some help figuring out what that is. I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks.

ODBC connection is set up the same on both servers and works with Access. In fact, I have tried to put the same code that I'm trying to use in a regular text java file, it compiled and ran on that same server. I've got a feeling I have the Websphere server setup wrong, but I don't know exactly what and how to fix it.
Thanks.

Run a SQL procedure with multi database querying from Excel

I'm using SQL Server 2008 Enterprise. I created a procedure in one database. The procedure is composed of several queries to different databases and the final combined result set is being displayed.
I try to execute it via Excel, so the results will appear automatically in Excel sheet, but I'm getting the error:
"The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened. Check the database server or contact your DBA. Make sure the external
database is available and hasn't been moved or recognized, then try the operation again".
I created a simpler procedure that queries only one database, and the results displayed at the Excel sheet with no issues.
I suspect that, the original procedure failed due to the fact that I'm querying several databases in the procedure, when in the connection details of the "External Data Properties", only one database is mentioned.
My question is - can it be solved? Can I use multiple databases in the procedure and see it in the Excel?
Thanks, Roni

Use Global Temporary table(##) instead of Local Temporary table(#).
The scope of the temp table is limited to one database and it dispose automatically when jump to another database.
No, that is not correct. From where did you get that idea?
USE tempdb
go
CREATE TABLE #a(a int NOT NULL)
INSERT #a(a) VALUES(9)
go
USE master
go
SELECT a FROM #a
go
USE msdb
go
SELECT a FROM #a
go
DROP TABLE #a
And Roni's stored procedure does not even change database.
...however, the temp tables may very well be the problem, but for a completely different reason. Excel may ask SQL Server for the shape of the result set before it runs the procedeure, and this does not work with the temp tables. For this reason, using a
table variable my save the show.

Opening and closing database from JSPs

Hi,
I have a few web pages with an underlying database, and after some research I seem to have found that accessing this database directly from the JSP is a bad idea. Because of this I have created 2 methods in my JavaBean class to create the database connection and to close the database connection. What I want to have happen is when the user logs in the the site, a database connection is opened by calling the databaseConnection method then once they close the browser the destroyDBConnection is called. How do I go about implementing this approach in my JSPs? thanks for any suggestions
    * Method to create database connection
    public static void dbConnection() {
      try{
          // Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            // Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
            String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" +
                    "DBQ=C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 5.5" +
                    "\\webapps\\TheatreDepartment.mdb";
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
          connection.setAutoCommit(false);
      } catch (SQLException se) {
          System.out.println("SQL Error while connecting to the database : "+
                              se.toString());
      } /*catch (NamingException ne) {
          System.out.println("Naming exception Error while connecting to the database : "+
                              ne.toString());
      } */catch (Exception ne) {
          System.out.println("Error while connecting to the database : "+
                              ne.toString());
    * Destroy the Connection Object.
    public static void destroyDbConnection() throws SQLException {
          if (connection != null || !connection.isClosed() ) {
            connection.close(); // close the connection
}

I would suggest you do some more research.
Take a look into connection pooling.
Most of the time you do NOT want to give each individual user their own database connection, but rather keep a bunch on hand for people to use.

Generate an xml file from Database query results

Hi, can anyone help me out with this problem I'm having. What are the steps in creating an xml file directly from the results of a database query. I currently have a very simply process that queries a database via a partner link. The query returns the data but it's from this point that I am stuck. I need to create an xml file with the data along with the xml tags. I've looked at dozens of tutorials with no luck.
I would greatly appreciate help with this.
bpel rookie

Should be quite simple.
Create another partnerlink, configure it to use the file adapter, and write to an XML file. In this case you need to create an XML Schema (.xsd) of the file you want to create.
Before you write to the file, either add assign steps to copy individual attributes or use a transform activity to convert from the database format to the file (xml) format.

PC session hangs when launch a query from Oracle 9i client to 10g database

I have a pc with Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 client installed. The database server level is 10.1.0.5.
When I launch a query from a client session the pc sesssion locks up and doesn't return any results. When I launch the same query from the database server , or from other pcs with Oracle client 10 installed , I get results almost immediately from the query.
The pc in question is running Windows XP Service pack 2. Other queries run fine from the pc.
Are there are any known issues with Oracle 9 clients querying an Oracle 10 database ?

Thank you for your reply. No, I must admit I didn't think of looking at the wait events. I will look at this as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks again for your suggestion.

How to connect oracle database using DSN from jsp

          out.println("connection getted");
     catch(Exception exception1)
          out.println("error occoured ");
pls help as soon as possible
Sorry, for my english

you are actually using JDBC so the DSN entry does not matter.
2 things.
Make sure that your oracle database driver is in your classpath on your tomcat server.
I.E. copy the file classes12.jar into your common/lib folder of tomcat, or into your WEB-INF/lib folder of your application. and RESTART your server. classes12.jar can be found on the internet or more easily somewhere within your oracle installation. just search for it.
Make sure your jdbc url is correct. I believe it goes like this.... fill in the blacks
connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@MyOracleHost:1521:MyDB");Note how the username are passed in the first string there fore there is no need to pass additional parameters. This method may be depriciated, but if so, just take out the user and pass from the string and continue to pass them as 3 seperate strings.
connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:MyOracleHost:1521:MyDB","scott","tiger");That should get your connection. if not, post your errors.

Insert date time into oracle database from jsp

<option>2004</option>
<option>2005</option>
<option>2006</option>
<option>2007</option>

here the jsp code
<% date= request.getParameter("date"); %>
<% month= request.getParameter("month"); %>
<% year= request.getParameter("year"); %>
try
{ Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); }
catch (ClassNotFoundException exception)
try
     Connection connection = null;
     out.println("connectiong the database");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcsid","scott","tiger");
out.println("connection getted");
     int rows = 0;
     String query_2 = "insert into mrdetails values(?)";
     String dob = date+month+year;
     prepstat = connection.prepareStatement(query_2);
     prepstat.setTimestamp(4,dob);
     rows = prepstat.executeUpdate();
     out.println("data updated");
catch (Exception exception3)
out.println("Exception raised"+exception3.toString());
}

To insert date values into a database, you should use java.sql.Date. If it also has a time component, then java.sql.TimeStamp.
Your use of prepared statements is good.
You just need to convert the parameters into a date.
One way to do this is using java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
int rows = 0;
String query_2 = "insert into mrdetails values(?)";
String dob = date+"/" + month+ "/" + year;
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SImpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
java.util.Date javaDate = sdf.parse(dob);
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(javaDate .getTime);
prepstat = connection.prepareStatement(query_2);
prepstat.setTimestamp(4,sqlDate);
rows = prepstat.executeUpdate();
out.println("data updated");Cheers,
