simple insert operation

Hii guys,

I am very newbie about postgresql and I am making practice,
however I couldnt been able to insert a simple item to my DB via jdbc...

here is my code for insertion...

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
String connectionStr = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/XXXX";
Connection connection =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(connectionStr, "XXXX", "XXXX");
String sqlQuery = "INSERT INTO passTable (idCol , pass) VALUES
(3, 5)";
PreparedStatement query = connection.prepareStatement(sqlQuery);
query.executeUpdate();
connection.close();

but I cant compile it

the errors

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
form.java:26: unreported exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException;
must be cau
ght or declared to be thrown
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
^
form.java:28: unreported exception java.sql.SQLException; must be caught
or decl
ared to be thrown
Connection connection =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(con
nectionStr, "XXXX", "XXXX");

^
form.java:30: unreported exception java.sql.SQLException; must be caught
or decl
ared to be thrown
PreparedStatement query =
connection.prepareStatement(sqlQuery);

^
form.java:31: unreported exception java.sql.SQLException; must be caught
or decl
ared to be thrown
query.executeUpdate();
^
form.java:32: unreported exception java.sql.SQLException; must be caught
or decl
ared to be thrown
connection.close();
^
5 errors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what is the problem I am stuck with it..

Aydin,

You're obviously beginner at Java too :-)

The problem has nothing to do with JDBC, you must catch the Java
exceptions which are declared to be thrown by the methods you use (the
compilation error message is quite explicit about which ones), or
declare them to be thrown by your code. Look up some Java tutorial,
and/or use an intelligent IDE which highlights you the errors and
possibly fixes them too automatically... IntelliJ is a good one (not
free).

Other than that, from a superficial check, I guess your code is Ok.

Cheers,
Csaba.

The problem is, that all methods mentioned in the error messages
throw exceptions. Exceptions in java must be catched in try-catch-block

try {
method();
...
} catch (ExceptionThrownByMethod e) {
actOnExceptionOrNot();
...

}

You can omit the try-catch-block, if the method sorounding the called
method throws the exception:

void doCallMethod() throws ExceptionThrownByMethod {
method();
...
}

But then you need to catch the Exception at the place where
doCallMethod() is called.

Look in a documentation for the java programming language for more
information.

Hi,

The problem is that you never catch exceptions, specifically
SQLException. It is more a Java problem that a PostgreSQL problem. Maybe
you should read a little more about Java.

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html

Look at the modified code below.

Besides, it doesn't make sense to use PreparedStatement if don't use any
variable inside.

Regards,
Diego.
