How to use AND operator in statement - postgresql

I am using JDBC in JSP with PostGreSQL.
I want to read all values of a row with the given titel and interpret from a text field but the AND operator doesn't work.
// some code
stmt = conn.createStatement();
res = stmt.executeQuery(
"SELECT * " +
"FROM album " +
"WHERE interpret = ? AND titel = ? " +
"ORDER BY interpret, titel ASC "
);
//... closte statements, etc.
Not I get a syntax exception for AND.
Do you guys have any advices why?

You cannot use bind variables in a statement created with createStatement.
PreparedStatement is what you should be working with.
Use:
stmt = conn.prepareStatement();
stmt.setString(1, interpretValue); //set the value for the first parameter to interpretValue
stmt.setString(2, titleValue); //second parameter
A PreparedStatement is the preferred way of executing SQL statements because the statement is precompiled. This can be more efficient than a Statement, specially if the same query is executed multiple times.

Springboot JPA Cast numeric substring to string

I have a JPA/Springboot application backed by a Postgres database. I need to get a records that is equal to a substring passed back to the server.
For example:
Select * from dp1_attachments where TRIM(RIGHT(dp1_submit_date_dp1_number::text, 5)) ='00007'
This query works in PgAdmin, but not in the JPA #Query statement.
#Query("SELECT a.attachmentsFolder as attachmentsFolder, a.attachmentNumber as attachmentNumber, a.attachmentName as attachmentName, a.dp1SubmitDateDp1Number as dp1SubmitDateDp1Number,a.attachmentType as attachmentType, a.attachmentDate as attachmentDate, a.attachmentBy as attachmentBy "
+ "FROM DP1Attachments a WHERE TRIM(SUBSTRING(a.dp1SubmitDateDp1Number::text, 5 )) = :dp1Number")
I've also tried CASTing the parameter like this:
#Query("SELECT a.attachmentsFolder as attachmentsFolder, a.attachmentNumber as attachmentNumber, a.attachmentName as attachmentName, a.dp1SubmitDateDp1Number as dp1SubmitDateDp1Number,a.attachmentType as attachmentType, a.attachmentDate as attachmentDate, a.attachmentBy as attachmentBy "
+ "FROM DP1Attachments a WHERE TRIM(SUBSTRING(CAST(a.dp1SubmitDateDp1Number as string, 5 ))) = :dp1Number")
but the application won't even run, and returns an error that the query isn't valid.
If I make no attempt to cast it, I get an error that function pg_catalog.substring(numeric, integer) does not exist
UPDATE
I've also tried creating a native query instead but that also doesn't seem to work.
List<DP1AttachmentsProjection> results = em.createNativeQuery("Select * FROM dp1_attachments WHERE TRIM(RIGHT(CAST(dp1_submit_date_dp1_number as varchar),5)) =" + dp1Number).getResultList();
In place of varchar I have also tried string and text.
Errors come back similar to ERROR: operator does not exist: text = integer. Its like the CAST is being ignored and I'm not sure why.
I also tried the following as a native query:
em.createNativeQuery("Select * FROM dp1_attachments WHERE TRIM(RIGHT(dp1_submit_date_dp1_number::varchar),5)) =" + dp1Number).getResultList();
and get ERROR: syntax error at or near ":"
FINAL SOLUTION
Thanks to #Nenad J I altered the query to get the final working solution:
#Query(value = "SELECT a.attachments_Folder as attachmentsFolder, a.attachment_Number as attachmentNumber, a.attachment_Name as attachmentName, a.dp1_Submit_Date_Dp1_Number as dp1SubmitDateDp1Number,a.attachment_Type as attachmentType, a.attachment_Date as attachmentDate, a.attachment_By as attachmentBy FROM DP1_Attachments a WHERE TRIM(RIGHT(CAST(a.dp1_Submit_Date_Dp1_Number as varchar ), 5 )) = :dp1Number", nativeQuery = true)"
Default substring returns a string, so substring(integer data,5) returns a string. Thus no need for the cast.
#Query("SELECT * FROM DP1Attachments a WHERE TRIM(SUBSTRING(a.dp1SubmitDateDp1Number, 5)) = :dp1Number")
But I recommend in this case use native query like this:
Put this code in your attachment repository.
#Query(value="SELECT * FROM DP1Attachments AS a WHERE TRIM(SUBSTRING(a.dp1SubmitDateDp1Number, 5 )) = :dp1Number", nativeQuery=true)
Be careful with the column's name.

JDBC SELECT COUNT(*) returns empty resultset on HSQLDB

I would expect to always receive a resultset with one row on a SELECT COUNT, but results.next() always returns false. This is on HSQLDB 2.5.1.
The code below prints:
number of columns: 1. First column C1 with type INTEGER
No COUNT results
statement = connection.createStatement();
// check if table empty
statement.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable");
ResultSet results = statement.getResultSet();
System.out.println("number of columns: " + results.getMetaData().getColumnCount() + ". First column " +results.getMetaData().getColumnName(1) + " with type " +results.getMetaData().getColumnTypeName(1) );
int numberOfRows = 0;
boolean hasResults = results.next();
if (hasResults){
numberOfRows = results.getInt(1);
System.out.println("Table size " + numberOfRows );
}else{
System.out.println("No COUNT results" );
}
statement.close();
Executing the same SQL statement in my SQL console works fine:
C1
104
Other JDBC actions on this database work fine as well.
Is there something obvious I'm missing?
The getResultSet method is applicable to execute, but not executeQuery which returns a ResultSet. That is the one you need to refer to, at the moment you are losing it as you are not assigning it to anything.
See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html#executeQuery(java.lang.String) and https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html#getResultSet()
ResultSet results = statement.executeQuery("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable");

error syntax error at or near ":" for split_part () of createNativeQuery in spring boot for postgresql

I'm getting SQL exception while executing the query which contains
split_part() method as split_part(value::TEXT,':', 1).
String queryStr = " select split_part(value::TEXT,':', 1) from table";
Query query = entityManager.createNativeQuery(queryStr);
List results = query.getResultList();
ERROR 2020-02-10 14:54:37,926 [http-nio-7070-exec-1] 142 - ERROR: syntax error at or near ":"
Position: 855
Your obfuscation layer probably chokes on the :: operator. Use the cast() operator instead:
String queryStr = " select split_part(cast(value as text),':', 1) from table";
But why do you think you need the cast to begin with? If you are storing : characters that column, it is most probably a text (or varchar) column anyway and you don't need a cast at all.

PostgreSQL {call Update Set ...} getting "syntax error at or near SET"

I'm changing queries from an Oracle Database to PostgreSQL, and in this query I am getting this error:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "SET"
the query is:
{call UPDATE alarm_instance SET last_update_time=default, wait_expire_time=null, core_number=nextval(SEQ_ALRM_NUMBR)
where wait_time <= current_date RETURNING alarm_instance_id bulk collect INTO ?}
I am using JDBC to connect to the database and here is the call code
try (CallableStatement cs = super.prepareCall_(query)) {
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.ARRAY);
cs.execute();
...
I have taken a long look at Postgres documentation and cannot find what is wrong and didn't find any answer to this specific situation
An UPDATE statement can't be executed with a CallableStatement. A CallableStatement is essentially only intended to call stored procedures. In case of Oracle that includes anonymous PL/SQL blocks.
And bulk collect is invalid in Postgres to begin with.
It seems you want something like this:
String sql =
"UPDATE alarm_instance " +
" SET last_update_time=default, " +
" wait_expire_time=null, "
" core_number=nextval('SEQ_ALRM_NUMBR') " +
" where wait_time <= current_date RETURNING alarm_instance_id";
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
stmt.execute(sql);
int rowsUpdated = stmt.getUpdateCount();
ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
while (rs.next() {
// do something with the returned IDs
}

Dynamic Variables With PowerQuery

I have a table on my workbook that looks like below
Parameter Value
salestart 01/01/2016
saleend 01/21/2016
And I am trying to query a postgresql database and use the value for salestart and saleend in the where clause. I am just stuck on how to get the syntax perfect to achieve such a result. This is what I have thus far, but I get an error of:
ODBC escape convert error
And this is the actual syntax I am attempting. What must I alter so that this will be a valid statement and return the data I am needing?
let
Parameter = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Parameters"]}[Content],
txtsalestart = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Parameter,{{"salestart", type text}}),
txtsaleend = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Parameter,{{"saleend", type text}}),
Source = Odbc.Query("dsn=123", "Select * from saledb AND CAST(saledate As Date) BETWEEN between '"&#"txtsalestart" & "'" AND '"&#"txtsaleend" & "'#(lf)ORDER BY saleitem ASC")
in
Source
The query value is not built correctly: "'" AND '" should be "' AND '"
