Simba]SpannerJDBCDriver Error message from server: INVALID_ARGUMENT: Positional parameters are not supported

SELECT s.SingerId, s.FirstName, s.LastName
FROM Singers@{FORCE_INDEX=SingersByFirstLastName} AS s
WHERE s.FirstName = ?

Answer 1

Cloud Spanner's dialect of SQL does not support positional parameters. Parameters in Cloud Spanner's dialect of SQL are specified using a @ followed by an identifier, for eg

SELECT s.SingerId, s.FirstName, s.LastName
FROM Singers@{FORCE_INDEX=SingersByFirstLastName} AS s
WHERE s.FirstName = @first_name
