Question

Hey guys i’m trying to connect to my database and run a query. it all works apart from the query execution (after narrowing it down i found it to be this) Below i my code:

              Statement statement = null;
          ResultSet result;

           result = statement.executeQuery(query);//this is where error is being caused

           while(result.next())
           {
               Print("ID: " + result.getString("id"));
               Print("USER: " + result.getString("username"));
               Print("PASS: " + result.getString("password"));
           }

I get this returned:

database!java.lang.NullPointerException

Thanks for any help you give me

Answer 1

The query looks right. Surely the statement variable is NULL and you are trying to call executeQuery.

UPDATE:

Try this:

Statement statement = conn.createStatement ();

where conn is a Connection object. I’m sure you have one of those objects somewhere in your code.
