Question

I have a table dbo.comp has id and name as columns.

dbo.comp

 Name       id
 A           1
 B           2
 C           3
 D           4
 E           5

Where B &D is parent name inserted from excel sheet .

excelsheet

 parent
   B
   D

I need to find out what are the Id’s for the parent names in dbo.comp. For that I stored parent which is present in the excel sheet into a array called parent[j]. And trying to compare with the id presents in the dbo.comp like this. But its not working

String Querystring7="SELECT Id from dbo.Comp where Id="+Parent [j]+" ";

am writing in java program I stuck writing query for this. How can I get parent name id from dbo.comp by comparing the parent[j] array? Please help me to write a query

Answer 1

Since you are storing the NAME in the Excel spreadsheet, you should be using the name to query your table, not the ID, as you are doing.

Example:

String Querystring7="SELECT Id from dbo.Comp where Name='"+Parent [j]+"' ";
