Can not fix “Unknown table” exception from JOOQ query

Question

I am having trouble getting data from a database I know exists and I know the format of.

In the code snippet below the "if conn != null" is just a test to verify the database name, table name, etc are all correct, and they DO verify.

The last line below is what generates the exception

public static HashMap<Integer, String> getNetworkMapFromRemote(DSLContext dslRemote, Connection conn, Logger logger) {
    HashMap<Integer,String> remoteMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();
    // conn is only used for test purposes
    if (conn != null) {
        // test to be sure database is ok
        try
        {
            ResultSet rs = conn.createStatement().executeQuery("SELECT networkid, name FROM network");
            while (rs.next()) {
                System.out.println("TEST: nwid " + rs.getString(1) + " name " + rs.getString(2));
            }
            rs.close();
        }
        catch ( SQLException se )
        {
            logger.trace("getNetworksForDevices SqlException: " + se.toString());
        }
    }
    // ----------- JOOQ problem section ------------------------
    Network nR = Network.NETWORK.as("network");
    // THE FOLLOWING LINE GENERATES THE UNKNOWN TABLE 
    Result<Record2<Integer, String>> result      = dslRemote.select( nR.NETWORKID, nR.NAME ).fetch();

This is the output

TEST: nwid 1 name Network 1

For the sake of completness here is part of the JOOQ generated class file for Network

Based on the "unknown table" exception I thought there was a problem connected to the wrong database or wrong server, but the console output is correct for a JDBC query.

Any thoughts are appreciated, perhaps something else can be the root cause or the DSLContext is not valid (but I would think that would generate a different exception).

Answer 1

The answer ends up being simple, I did not include the .from() method

Result<Record2<Integer, String>> result = dslRemote.select( nR.NETWORKID, nR.NAME )
    .from(nR)
    .fetch();

That is why the table was unknown, I never put the from method in.
