java returns empty String value for oracle VARCHAR2

问题

I have the following code which appears to work correctly but it does not display any values for the personCode string. PERSON_CODE is a VARCHAR2 in an Oracle 9i database.

I am using Java SE 1.7 and ojdbc7.jar for my project. I am new to Java can anybody give me some help with this?

private static void GetEmployee(String input) {
String output = "";
Connection con=null;
PreparedStatement stmt = null;
String sql ="SELECT ALL BADGE_NUMBER, PERSON_CODE FROM BADGETABLE WHERE BADGE_NUMBER = ?";

try {
    //load driver
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:username/password@host:1521:database");

    //declaring statement
    stmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
    stmt.setString(1, input);

    // execute query
    ResultSet rows = stmt.executeQuery();

    int i = 0;
    while(rows.next()) {
        i++;
        String badgeCode = rows.getString(1);
        String personCode = rows.getString(2);
        String personType = rows.getString(3);
        System.out.println("Badge number: " + badgeCode);
        System.out.println("Employee ID: " + personCode);
    }
    System.out.println("Number of results: " + i);


    rows.close();    // All done with that resultset
    stmt.close();  // All done with that statement
    con.close();  // All done with that DB connection


}
catch (SQLException e) {
    System.err.println(e);
} 
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    System.err.println(e);
}

return;
}

I ran into this same problem using:

Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition 64bit (JServer Rlease 9.2.0.1.0 - Production)
JDBC 12.1.0.1.0 - ojdbc7.jar
Java OpenJDK 64bit, 1.7.0_09-icedtea

with a table like this: create table person ( first_name varchar2(60) );

And query like this using sqlline: select first_name, cast(substr(first_name,0,1) as char) from person;

Would have a result set of ["","S"].

I did not have any other Oracle jars on my class path as was found to be problem for others, but when I switched from ojdbc7.jar to ojdbc6_g.jar this problem resolved. This is driver version 11.2.0.3.0 which is under the 12c download section.

Look at your query :

String sql = "SELECT ALL BADGE_NUMBER, PERSON_CODE FROM BADGETABLE WHERE BADGE_NUMBER = ?";

The below code will throw Exception :

String badgeCode = rows.getString(1);
String personCode = rows.getString(2);
// there is no third column in your resultset
String personType = rows.getString(3);

You can change your query to (if you don't want to use the column names):

String sql = "SELECT * FROM BADGETABLE WHERE BADGE_NUMBER = ?";

Or specify the third column :

String sql = "SELECT ALL BADGE_NUMBER, PERSON_CODE ,PERSON_TYPE FROM BADGETABLE WHERE BADGE_NUMBER = ?";

And retrieve data using the column name :

String badgeCode = rows.getString("BADGE_NUMBER");
String personCode = rows.getString("PERSON_CODE");
String personType = rows.getString("PERSON_TYPE");

Also , move the close() statements under the finally block :

} finally {
 try { rows.close(); } catch (Exception e) {  }
 try { stmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) {  }
 try { con.close(); } catch (Exception e) {  }
}

Same problem when using:

 Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition 64bit 9.2.0.8.0 - on Sun Server Sun OS 10.
    JDBC 12.1.0.2.0 - ojdbc7.jar (thin driver)
    manifest info: Created-By: 20.75-b01 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)  
Implementation Vendor: Oracle Corporation Implementation-Version: 12.1.0.2.0

For me helped this solution, it is not the best one but it worked:

select to_clob(field_name) as field_name from table_name

Also if you are sure about the length of the field this solution might be helpful:

  select cast(field_name as char(10)) as field_name from table_name

I am happy to resport that I solved this problem, but, it was an extremely long and painfull search in my code, when in fact, the problem was actually in my Glassfish server.

I read somewhere on this site that someone had a similar problem and they had REMOVED some jar's with the following name: ojdbc18???.jar . When I searched for this, I didn't find any, so I moved on.

After pulling out most of my hair, I decided to start browsing around on the webserver, and sure enough, there were other jars in the lib dir of the WEB-SERVER, which would be visible to my app.

Those jar's were ojdbc14???.jar. Wholly freak. As soon as I DELETED those ojdbc14's, everythig worked fine.

To that end, search your class path and make sure jar's like that can not be found.

Good luck, Nick

Ignoring the all in your SQL, your basic problem is that you try to get 3 fields, when your sql query only selects 2 :

SELECT ALL BADGE_NUMBER, PERSON_CODE FROM BADGETABLE ...
