So far I have been able to insert data into my SQL table only when i declare values inside the executedUpdate statement. What I wanted to know if there is a way that I can pass those values as variables that I will declare as parameters in the executing method like so:
public void updateSQL(String name, String dnsName, String ipV4, String ipV6, int statusCode)
{
try
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://servername;database=databasename;integratedSecurity=true");
System.out.println("Database Name: " + connection.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductName());
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO ComputerStatus(Name, DNSName, IPAddressV4, IPAddressV6, StatusCodeID)" + "VALUES(@Name, @DNSName, @IPAddressV4, @IPAddressV6, @StatusCodeID)");
System.out.println("Data Inserted");
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT Name FROM ComputerStatus");
while(resultSet.next())
{
System.out.println("Computer Name: " + resultSet.getString("Name"));
}
connection.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
System.err.println("Problem Connecting!");
}
}
I've tried couple of different things but no luck so far. Anyone know if this can be done?
The syntax for assigning a value to a SQL variable within a SELECT query is @ var_name := value , where var_name is the variable name and value is a value that you're retrieving. The variable may be used in subsequent queries wherever an expression is allowed, such as in a WHERE clause or in an INSERT statement.
To assign a value to a variable, use the SET statement. This is the preferred method of assigning a value to a variable. A variable can also have a value assigned by being referenced in the select list of a SELECT statement.
The combination of Java and Microsoft SQL Server databases is highly compatible and widely used to build highly secure applications. In this article, you will learn about Java, Microsoft SQL Server, and how to use the JDBC driver for Java Connect to Microsoft SQL Server database correctly.
You may use PreparedStatement
instead of Statement
.
PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement("insert into test (firstname, lastname) values (?, ?");
stmt.setString(1, name);
stmt.setString(2, lname);
stmt.executeUpdate();
Using this way, you prevent SQL injection.
Have a look here :
PreparedStatement prep = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO ComputerStatus(Name, DNSName, IPAddressV4, IPAddressV6, StatusCodeID) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
prep.setString(1, name);
prep.setString(2, dnsName);
prep.setString(3, ipV4name);
prep.setString(4, ipV6);
prep.setInt(5, statusCode);
prep.executeUpdate();
this will help you understand.
