Question

I inserted one column in sql with null value from java.while retrieving back it is not working with null.i also checked with string.length().But when i printed the value in System.out. the value is showing as null (just null).when i checked it with condition it is not entering into loop.

String id ="1234"; 
            String name="pratap";
            String gender=null;
            String email=null;
String service="GOOGLE";
        log.info(id+name+gender+email) //output is 1234pratapnullnull   

String insert = "INSERT INTO oauthuser VALUES('"+id+"','"+name+"','"+gender+"','"+email+"','"+service"')";

In the retrieval

query ="Select * FROM oauthuser where id="+"'"+id+"'";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection (dbUrl);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
  while(rs.next())
  {
 id=rs.getString(1);
 name=rs.getString(2);
 gender=rs.getString(3);
 email=rs.getString(4);
service_provider_name=rs.getString(5);
System.out.println(gender+email+name);//output is nullnullpratap

  } 

if(gender!="male" && gender!="female")
 System.out.println("it is printing");
  if(gender==null)
      System.out.println("it is not printing");
con.close();

Answer 1

you can try "null" instead of NULL , but better to show us the code

after your update

remove + sign from your query like this

String id ="1234"; 
            String name="pratap";
            String gender="null";
            String email="null";
String service="GOOGLE";
        log.info(id+name+gender+email) //output is 1234pratapnullnull   

String insert = "INSERT INTO oauthuser VALUES('"id"','"name"','"gender"','"email"','"service"')"

and when you select , modify like this

if(gender.equals("null"))
      System.out.println("it is not printing");
