Java SQL Exception Invalid Cursor State - no current row

Question

I've been having a hard time trying to figure this out. First I have an insertProduct(Product p) method that is supposed to check if a product with the specified code exists in the database. If so, this method will display an error message. Otherwise, it should add the product to the database and print it to the console. I'm not sure if I'm doing that correctly.

Second, the deleteProduct(Product p) method is supposed to delete the product that was added by the insertProduct method. Now the thing is that I keep getting a SQL Exception when I try to add the product and then the deleteProduct method just keeps deleting the products that are in the database one by one each time the program is run until non are left. I'm not sure what's wrong with both of these methods.

Console Output:

Answer 1

You need to call ResultSet.next() before you can retrieve a column value.

// check if product code exists in database
try(Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Products")){
if (rs.next()) // THIS is MISSING!
    String code =   rs.getString(1);

The above code would run without exceptions but would still fail logically since you're selecting all the products and just checking the code for the first one returned by the database. The correct way to check if the product already exists is

// check if product code exists in database
try(Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(
        "SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ProductCode = '" + p.getCode() + "'")){
if (rs.next()) {
   System.out.println("Error: This product is already in the database!");
   return;
}
