Jdbctemplate query for string: EmptyResultDataAccessException: Incorrect result size: expected 1, actual 0

Question

I am using Jdbctemplate to retrieve a single String value from the db. Here is my method.

    public String test() {
        String cert=null;
        Strin         


        

Answer 1

That's not a good solution because you're relying on exceptions for control flow. In your solution it's normal to get exceptions, it's normal to have them in the log.

public String test() {
    String sql = "select ID_NMB_SRZ from codb_owner.TR_LTM_SLS_RTN where id_str_rt = '999' and ID_NMB_SRZ = '60230009999999'";
    List<String> certs = jdbc.queryForList(sql, String.class); 
    if (certs.isEmpty()) {
        return null;
    } else {
        return certs.get(0);
    }
}

Since getJdbcTemplate().queryForMap expects minimum size of one but when it returns null it shows EmptyResultDataAccesso fix dis when can use below logic

Map<String, String> loginMap =null;
try{
    loginMap = getJdbcTemplate().queryForMap(sql, new Object[] {CustomerLogInInfo.getCustLogInEmail()});
}
catch(EmptyResultDataAccessException ex){
    System.out.println("Exception.......");
    loginMap =null;
}
if(loginMap==null || loginMap.isEmpty()){
    return null;
}
else{
    return loginMap;
}

For Byron, you can try this..

public String test(){
                String sql = "select ID_NMB_SRZ from codb_owner.TR_LTM_SLS_RTN 
                     where id_str_rt = '999' and ID_NMB_SRZ = '60230009999999'";
                List<String> li = jdbcTemplate.queryForList(sql,String.class);
                return li.get(0).toString();
        }

In JdbcTemplate , queryForInt, queryForLong, queryForObject all such methods expects that executed query will return one and only one row. If you get no rows or more than one row that will result in IncorrectResultSizeDataAccessException . Now the correct way is not to catch this exception or EmptyResultDataAccessException, but make sure the query you are using should return only one row. If at all it is not possible then use query method instead.

List<String> strLst  = getJdbcTemplate().query(sql,new RowMapper {

  public Object mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
        return rs.getString(1);
  }

});

if ( strLst.isEmpty() ){
  return null;
}else if ( strLst.size() == 1 ) { // list contains exactly 1 element
  return strLst.get(0);
}else{  // list contains more than 1 elements
  //your wish, you can either throw the exception or return 1st element.    
}

IMHO returning a null is a bad solution because now you have the problem of sending and interpreting it at the (likely) front end client. I had the same error and I solved it by simply returning a List<FooObject>. I used JDBCTemplate.query().

At the front end (Angular web client), I simply examine the list and if it is empty (of zero length), treat it as no records found.
