My question is:
Is there a way to use the value of a java variable in a SQL query??
I mean. There is a java program. Can I retrieve the value of that variable and use it in a SQL query? Your help will be so much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. ;)

Please do not be impatient, it is rude. Please do remember that the people answering you are not necessarily in the same timezone as you are.

re: Use of Java Variables In A SQL Server Database. Help!!!


Thanks for the heads up.
I'm having a look at that at the moment. I think that the getParameterMetaData() function could help me retrieve the value of that variable and use it in the SQL query. I tried to use it but I can't find a solution. Okay I'll post my code:

This java program connects to a SQL Server Database. It wants us to insert a Customer Code and then delete that customer. That's what I've done so far:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import java.sql.*;
  2. import java.util.Scanner;
  3.  
  4. class Sample {
  5.  
  6.     public static void main (String[] args) {
  7.  
  8.  
  9.         /* variables declaration */
  10.         Connection con = null ;
  11.         Statement stmt = null;
  12.         ResultSet rs = null;
  13.         String url = "jdbc:odbc:mydata";
  14.         DatabaseMetaData meta = null;
  15.  
  16.         try {
  17.         // Step 1: Load the ODBC driver.
  18.             Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
  19.                 System.out.println("Driver Loaded successfully!");
  20.         } catch(Exception e1) {
  21.                 System.out.println("An error occur while loading the Driver : "+e1.getMessage());
  22.         System.out.println("Check ODBC");
  23.         }
  24.  
  25.         try {
  26.         // Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
  27.         con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"","");
  28.                 System.out.println("Connection Established!");
  29.  
  30.         } catch(Exception e2) {
  31.         System.out.println("Could not establish the Connection : "+e2.getMessage());
  32.                 System.out.println("Check username or password");
  33.     }
  34.  
  35.     try {
  36.         // Step 3: Get the Customer Code and Delete that customer from the database
  37.         Scanner x = new Scanner(System.in);
  38.         stmt = con.createStatement();
  39.         rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select * from Pelates ");
  40.         System.out.print("Please enter Client Number:");
  41.         int number = x.nextInt();
  42.         int code = 0;
  43.  
  44.         while (rs.next()) {
  45.         code = rs.getInt("Code_Pel");
  46.  
  47.         }
  48.  
  49.         if(code == number) {
  50.             PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("Delete From Pelates Where Code_Pel = ? ");
  51.                pstmt.setInt(1, number);
  52.  
  53.             System.out.println("Client Deleted");
  54.         }
  55.  
  56.         rs.close();
  57.  
  58.  
  59.         stmt.close();
  60.         con.close();
  61.         } catch(Exception e3) {
  62.         System.out.println("Could not get data : "+e3.getMessage());
  63.     }
  64.     }
Step 3 is important.
