Question

I want to create Java method which can count the rows in Oracle table. So far I made this:

public int CheckDataDB(String DBtablename, String DBArgument) throws SQLException {
    System.out.println("SessionHandle CheckUserDB:"+DBArgument);
    int count;
    String SQLStatement = null;

    if (ds == null) {
        throw new SQLException();
    }

    Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    if (conn == null) {
        throw new SQLException();
    }

    PreparedStatement ps = null;

    try {
        conn.setAutoCommit(false);
        boolean committed = false;
        try {
            SQLStatement = "SELECT count(*) FROM ? WHERE USERSTATUS = ?";

            ps = conn.prepareStatement(SQLStatement);
            ps.setString(1, DBtablename);
            ps.setString(2, DBArgument);

            ResultSet result = ps.executeQuery();

            if (result.next()) {
                count = result.getString("Passwd");
            }

            conn.commit();
            committed = true;
        } finally {
            if (!committed) {
                conn.rollback();
            }
        }
    } finally {
        /* Release the resources */
        ps.close();
        conn.close();
    }

    return count;
}

I want to use for different tables. This is the problem that I cannot solve:

count = result.getString("row"); 

Can you help me to solve the problem?

Answer 1

count = result.getInt(1);

This is needed, because count is int. And you can specify the index of the row returned by the query, you don’t need to access it by name.

But you could also do:

count = result.getInt("count(*)");
