Question

I have a method that will if check two text fields exist then retune the record ID.
My method look like this:

int getQueryMatch(String word, String meter) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();

    String selectQuery = "SELECT *  FROM " + TABLE_HISTORY + " WHERE " + QUERYWORD +  "= '" + word + "' AND WHERE " + DISTANCEQ + "= '"+ meter +"' "  ;
    Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);
    int getidd = cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_ID) ;


    Log.v("Match query ", "return? " + getidd );
    if (cursor != null)
        cursor.moveToFirst();

    // return History
    return getidd;
}

and I have my table looks like this:

    String CREATE_HISTORYS_TABLE = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_HISTORY + "(" + KEY_ID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," +
            QUERYWORD + " TEXT," + DISTANCEQ + " TEXT" + ","  + KEY_TIMESTAMP + ")";
    db.execSQL(CREATE_HISTORYS_TABLE);

now when I run the method as if getQueryMatch(Mystr1 , Mystr2);

I got this error:

My select query looks like alright to me but I don’t know what is the problem?

Answer 1

You have 2 WHERE clauses in your query. You are only allowed to have one. Combine them like this:

String selectQuery = "SELECT *  FROM " + TABLE_HISTORY + " WHERE " + QUERYWORD +  "= '" + word + "' AND " + DISTANCEQ + "= '"+ meter +"' "  ;

So now you query would be:

SELECT *  FROM history WHERE query= 'Information Pillar' AND distance= '20'`

This is now valid.
