RE: Updating result set in Java

["Richard Dettinger" <cujo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry.... just came to me what the problem (probably) is... you are
required to specify "FOR UPDATE" on statements that are updatable.  This
tells the database that we are potentially going to escalate locks later.
Creating the statement as updatable only tells the JDBC driver that you
want access to update methods.

While it is true that the JDBC driver could add the "FOR UPDATE" clause for
users, and perhaps we should.  Generally, we try to stay away from doing
any modification to the user SQL that comes through because its always more
dangerous than it first appears.  For example, if the user passes an SQL
string, first you have to check to see if the clause is there.  Then you
have to make sure that the "FOR UPDATE" clause isn't going to interfere
when any other clause that the user might already have (like "OPTIMIZE FOR
x ROWS").  Then you have to consider all the things that I have not just
considered. :)

What do people think?  Should the JDBC driver check for this clause and
append it if missing?

Richard,

I got the native driver on AS/400 running.  But the update result set was
still failed. The message was:

 SQLException: [IBM][JDBC Driver][15046] An attempt was made to issue an
update method on a result set
 that is not updatable.
 SQLState:  24000

I don't know why the resultSet is not updatable.  I have specifically
defined the statement as:

 stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
 rs = stmt.executeQuery(myQuery);

Any suggestions?  Is anyone have ever use JDBC2.0 API updating a result set
programmatically?

Wayne

This should help:

1) The native JDBC driver is not in the classpath be default with JDK 1.2
and beyond.  The following CL command will put the Native JDBC driver in
your extensions classpath and then you won't have to worry about it again:

ADDLNK OBJ('/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/ext/db2_classes.jar') NEWLNK
('/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/db2_classes.jar')

Of course,  you can just add it to your classpath if you want.  That will
fix the no suitable driver messages.

2) To the best of my knowledge, the native JDBC jar file is not in
VisualAge anywhere.  You can always take the jar file noted above and put
it in VisualAge but for most purposes, this isn't really needed because you
would already be coding to the JDBC API interface.

3) You can't run the native JDBC driver from a system that is not a 400
(iSeries).  This is because it is tied directly into the database and the
JVM.  You can connect from one 400 to another 400 or from one 400 to a
different backend (such as a 390) over DRDA, but you can't have your
'client' not be an AS/400 or iSeries.

Thanks, Richard.

As you suggested, I am running the program on AS/400 by using DB2 native
JDBC driver.  Now I got other problems on AS/400. I have multiple JDKs on
the AS400. In order to use the JDBC 2.0 API, I have to use JDK 1.2.  But I
got "no suitable driver" message.  I have no problem to load the driver if
I run the program using JDK1.1.8, of course in this case all JDBC2.0 API
methods will not be recognized.  Does AS400 Developer Kit for Java only
support JDK1.1.8?  Do I miss something here?

By the way, I tried to run the db2 JDBC native driver inside VisualAge for
JAVA 3.5. But the program can not find the driver.  Do you know where is
the package "com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app" inside the IDE.  I have no problem to
use the native driver on AS400 (for JDK1.1.8).  What I understood is that
on AS400 I am using AS/400 Developer Kit for Java,  how about inside
VisualAge?

I do have write authority to the table.  In fact, I can use SQL statement
to update the ID field of the TEST table. The code looks like this:

        String myUpdate = "update TEST set ID = RRN(TEST)+30";
        stmt = con.createStatement();
        stmt.executeUpdate(myUpdate);

Thanks.

You don't have write authority to the table??? No, I don't have another
guess.

Export your program to the 400 and use the Native JDBC driver to see if the
problem is the same.
If the problem is the same, the issue is likely to be something about the
database (either setup
or a bug).  If it works that way, its likely to be a Toolbox JDBC driver
issue which should be investigated.

rs.next() did return true.  The code was simplified. I do use while
(rs.next()) in my real code.

any other thought??

Are you sure the call to rs.next() returned true?  If you don't test the
boolean return value, the resultset could have been empty.  That's my
first, best guess.

Of course, you can write code however you want, but I always make it a
practice to use while(rs.next())  if I am going to process all the rows and
if (rs.next()) if I want to process only one.  This ensures that there is
always data before I go off and try to do something to the ResultSet.

I have problem to update the result set programmatically. I use VisualAge
for Java 3.5 Enterprise Edition. My database is DB2 in AS/400.  I am using
JDBC 2.0 API features to update the field in the result set.  I got error
message:

SQLException: Cursor state not valid.
SQLState:  24000

Here is my sample code:

import java.sql.*;
import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

class Test {

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
        Connection con = null;
        Statement stmt = null;
        ResultSet rs = null;

                // Load Java JDBC driver.
        try {

                Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver");
        } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
                System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: "+e.getMessage
());
                }
        try {

                con = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:as400://wilm620/agtcomp", "myID", "mypassword");
        } catch (SQLException e){
                   System.err.println("Connection Error Exception: "
+e.getMessage());
                        }

        try{
                stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
                rs = stmt.executeQuery("select ID from AGTCOMP.TEST");

                //move the cursor to the first row and update the ID field
(Integer) to 30.
                rs.next();
                rs.updateInt(1,30);

                stmt.close();
                con.close();
        }catch (SQLException e){
                System.err.println("SQLException: "+e.getMessage());
                System.err.println("SQLState:  "+e.getSQLState());
        }

        System.exit(0);
}
}

I have tried to scroll the result set up and down, there is no problem to
do that. But I just cannot update it. Of course I can not do rs.updateRow()
to update the row in the database either.

Any helps will be highly appreciated.
