Question

I am running the code, however am getting a “Invalid state, the ResultSet object is closed.” error. What is causing the error?

try{
    query = "SELECT * FROM BUNDLE_TEMP "
                  + "MINUS "
                  + "SELECT * FROM BUNDLE";

            rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);

            while (rs.next()){
                String bundle = rs.getString("BUNDLE");
                String week = rs.getString("WEEK");
                String sched_dt = rs.getString("SCHED_DT").replace(" 00:00:00.0", "");
                String dropper_id = rs.getString("DROPPER_ID");


                query = "INSERT INTO BUNDLE "
                            + "VALUES ('"
                                + bundle+"','"
                                + week+"','"
                                + sched_dt+"','"
                                + dropper_id+"')";

                stmt.executeUpdate(query);
            }
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println("Error while trying to insert into BUNDLE\n"+query+"\n"+ e);
        }

You cannot execute another SQL query on the same Statement you’re currently iterating over with a ResultSet. Doing this will close the previously open cursor (your SELECT query resp. ResultSet):

To quote the API docs for Statement:

By default, only one ResultSet object per Statement object can be open
at the same time. Therefore, if the reading of one ResultSet object is
interleaved with the reading of another, each must have been generated
by different Statement objects. All execution methods in the Statement
interface implicitly close a statment’s current ResultSet object if an
open one exists.

Create another Statement instance from your Connection, let’s call it updateStmt and executeUpdate() on that one.

Also, look into Prepared Statements for your update, it will probably be more performant and secure.
