java.sql.SQLException: Invalid value for getShort() - ' '

Question

I want to auto filter the search using the DocumentListener in my java code but the code shows

error java.sql.SQLException: Invalid value for getShort() - ''

with matching value in the 'single quote' ie. the program shows the error ( java.sql.SQLException: Invalid value for getShort() - 'Rabin Karki' ) when I enter (' r ') in the search text field

My database table is 'staff' and contains following columns

Name varchar(40), Designation varchar(40), Salary int(), Address varchar(40), Contact int(), Email varchar(40), BirthDate date(), JoinDate()

Answer 1

select * from Returns the columns in order they are created by the create Statement. In your case Name will be the fiorst column. Which you read with rs.getShort(1) from the resultset. You have to use String here:

               model.addRow(new Object[] {rs.getString(1...

You should better add the columns to the select to define the order.
