Exception during connection to JDBC MySQL

Question

Good Afternoon: I'm a chemistry teacher from Spain. I am not an experimented programmer, but I decided to create a small program to help my students with my subject. I am creating this small program in Java where I'm trying to connect with a database in order to receive its information through the Atomic Number. Actually, I also want to do it through the other parameters, but I'm not shure about how to do it. The thing is that it bounces the exception or it doesn't connect properly to the database. I attatch the full code and a screenshot of my database (By the way, when I try to upload data to the database it works.):

Here is my database:

database phpmyadmin

And here is the exception when inserting 1 into NAt:

Actual Exception

Answer 1

Taking a look at your code around your select query, you are running

            nat.setText("");

and then

            ResultSet registro = comando.executeQuery("select elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,matom from form where natom="+nat.getText());

What do you expect nat.getText() to return here?

Of course, it will return "" because that's what you've set the text of nat to. You're then asking your database to run the following invalid query:

    select elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,matom from form where natom=

Running this against a MySQL database will generate the error in your screenshot.

I'm guessing that the fix is to delete the line nat.setText(""); .

However, instead of building up SQL strings using string concatenation, please use PreparedStatement s instead.

Replace the lines

            Statement comando=conexion.createStatement();
            ResultSet registro = comando.executeQuery("select elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,matom from form where natom="+nat.getText());

with

            PreparedStatement comando=conexion.prepareStatement(
                "select elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,matom from form where natom=?");
            comando.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(nat.getText()));
            ResultSet registro = comando.executeQuery();

and the lines

              Statement comando=conexion.createStatement();
              comando.executeUpdate("insert into form(elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,natom,matom) values ('"+elm.getText()+"','"+smb.getText()+"','"+ox.getText()+"',"+nat.getText()+","+mat.getText()+")");

with

              Statement comando=conexion.prepareStatement(
                  "insert into form(elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,natom,matom) values (?,?,?,?,?)");
              comando.setString(1, elm.getText());
              comando.setString(2, smb.getText());
              comando.setString(3, ox.getText());
              comando.setString(4, Integer.parseInt(nat.getText()));
              comando.setString(5, Integer.parseInt(mat.getText()));
              comando.executeUpdate();

You will also need to add some error-handling around the calls to Integer.parseInt(...) : these will throw NumberFormatException if either nat.getText() or mat.getText() isn't a valid integer.

Answer 2

If you could attach or describe exactly what the sqlException is that might help, but from what I can see your database connection url is malformed. So its probably not connecting to the database

your url is: Connection conexion = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/chem","root" ,"");

Normally you need to add a port number that the database is running on so changing the:

"jdbc:mysql://localhost/chem"

to:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/chem

or whatever the port your database is running on, from a google it looks like the default port number is 3360 but it depends on how you have setup your database. But i think that should solve your problem

Answer 3

Please try to execute your sql query manually with your DB client. To do this you can add code like this or use debugging to get the sql string value and test it:

String sqlString = "insert into form(elemento,simbolo,oxidacion,natom,matom) values ('"+elm.getText()+"','"+smb.getText()+"','"+ox.getText()+"',"+nat.getText()+","+mat.getText()+")";
System.out.println(sqlString);
comando.executeUpdate(sqlString);

You need to get the actual SQL string and test it manually if it works.
