My code can execute select statements just fine, but for some reason I can’t get the insert and delete segments to work. I believe they should be the same right? I just don’t know what’s wrong with my code right here.
else if (e.getSource() == executeButton) {
//Create a statement
if (enterSQLText.getText().toLowerCase().contains("select")){
try{
String commandString = enterSQLText.getText();
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
//Execute a statement
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(commandString);
//Process query results
ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
int numberOfColumns = metaData.getColumnCount();
for(int i = 1; i<= numberOfColumns; i++){
executionResultText.append(metaData.getColumnName(i) + "\t");
System.out.printf("%20s\t", metaData.getColumnName(i));
}
executionResultText.append("\n");
System.out.println();
while (resultSet.next()){
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++){
executionResultText.append(resultSet.getObject(i).toString() + "\t");
System.out.printf("%20s\t", resultSet.getObject(i));
}
executionResultText.append("\n");
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println("Execute Button Works!");
}
catch (Exception h){
h.printStackTrace();
}
}
else if (enterSQLText.getText().toLowerCase().contains("delete") || enterSQLText.getText().toLowerCase().contains("insert")) {
try {
String commandString = enterSQLText.getText();
Statement statement = conn.prepareStatement(commandString);
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeUpdate(commandString);
}
catch (Exception l){
l.printStackTrace();
}
}
else {
executionResultText.setText("Sorry, that is not a valid command");
System.out.println("Not a vilid command.");
}
}
Within the else if statement is where I’m having the problem. It usually just throws a stack trace error if I try to run an insert or delete statement. Can someone please help?
EDIT:
To get the code to execute, I had to change the else if segment to the following:
else if (enterSQLText.getText().toLowerCase().contains("delete") || enterSQLText.getText().toLowerCase().contains("insert")) {
try {
String commandString = enterSQLText.getText();
Statement statement = conn.prepareStatement(commandString);
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
int resultSet = statement.executeUpdate(commandString);
}
catch (Exception l){
l.printStackTrace();
}
}
When I try to execute an insert or delete command, I get a stack trace like this one:

No matter what I do to that segment, it either prevents me from being able to connect to the database, or throws an error.
Is quite obvious. You are trying to insert a duplicate entry for a primary key. Primary Keys are unique and you cannot use the same key twice.
You probably don’t want your name column to be a primary key. Use a autogenerated ID column for that.
Otherwise delete the column containing “Mark Renshaw” and run your code again. However it will only work once as you run into a conflict when running it twice with the same name.
