Question

 Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT id,lastname,status FROM people WHERE " + "id = "+ IncomingiD +" FROM people WHERE status =100 ); ",null);

I want to access to “status=100 and id=incomingid” of my people table. I wrote above snipped code but I am getting an error below…. What is wrong with that query ? Could you please help me ?

E/Error(996): Error while openining peopleandroid.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "FROM": syntax error: , while compiling: SELECT id,lastname,status FROM people WHERE  id = 1 FROM places WHERE status =100 ); 

Answer 1

You have the FROM people part twice in your query :

• First, at the correct place, between the select and where clause
• And then, a second time, after the first condition in the where clause.

Also, note that you have where twice in your query — the two condition should be separated by and and, and not a second where.

Oh, and it also seems that you have a closing ) at the end of your query?

Basically, your query looks like this :

SELECT id,lastname,status 
FROM people 
WHERE id = ....
FROM people 
WHERE status =100 
); 

But it should be looking like that :

SELECT id,lastname,status 
FROM people 
WHERE id = ....
    and status = 100 

In the end, I’m guessing your Java code should look a bit like this :

Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT id, lastname, status FROM people WHERE id = " + IncomingiD + " AND status = 100",null);
