Result set objects into an Array.

[oldezwe]

I am attempting to take 2 integers from a MySql table.

X represents a number that will be stored into an array.
Y represents the number of times that X will be put into the array.

I am attempting to make a loop that will go through, find all the Xs, along with their corresponding Ys and store X into an array Y amount of times...

This is an example of what I have been attempting...

try{
    		   	Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "root", "root");
    		   	Statement st=con.createStatement();
                        // Selects the highest index of X so all Xs get stored into array
    		   	ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT MAX(X) FROM table");
    		   	int[] mainArray = {};
    		   	int maxIndex = (Integer) rs.getObject(1);
                        int j = 0;
    		   	for (int i = 0; i < maxIndex; i++){
                                // Selects amount of times to insert given X into array  
    		   		ResultSet rs2 = st.executeQuery("select Y from table where X = '"+i+"'");
    		   		int numberOfEntries = (Integer)rs2.getObject(1); 	
    		   		While(j < numEntries + temp){
    		   			mainArray[j] = i;
                                        j++;
    		   		}
                                int temp = j;
    		   	}
    		   	
    	   	}catch(Exception e1){
    	   		System.out.println(e1);
    	   	}

Though, I have gotten every syntax error possible for what I am trying to do.

I have attempted user rs.next() with my result sets and for some reason can not figure out how to in the right syntax.

Can someone show me how to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks tons,
peace and love

let's start here:

int[] mainArray = {};

you say that mainArray is an array without elements, and later on, you try to store information in the array for indexes it doesn't have.

an option would be:

int[] mainArray;
int y = getNumberOfElementsForArray();
mainArray = new int[y];

or you could use an arraylist. that way you don't need to know up front the number of elements your array should be able to hold.

if you have any more errors, could you tell us what errors they are? not all of us have much time to go over all of your code.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class siteQueueArrayMake {
	public static void main(String[]args){
		try{
		   	Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "root", "root");
		   	Statement st=con.createStatement();
                    // Selects the highest index of X so all Xs get stored into array
		   	ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT MAX(X) FROM table");
		   	int[] mainArray = {};
		   	int temp = 0;
		   	int maxIndex = (Integer) rs.getObject(1);
                    int j = 0;
		   	for (int i = 0; i < maxIndex; i++){
                            // Selects amount of times to insert given X into array  
		   		ResultSet rs2 = st.executeQuery("select Y from table where X = '"+i+"'");
		   		int numberOfEntries = (Integer)rs2.getObject(1); 	
		   		while(j < numberOfEntries + temp){
		   			mainArray[j+temp] = i;
                                    j++;
		   		}
                            temp += j;
		   	}
		   	
	   	}catch(Exception e1){
	   		System.out.println(e1);
	   	}
	}
}

Updated code. The error I get is "Before start of result set."

I have googled syntax of using prepared statements and still can not figure out how to fix this error.

You must call rs.next() to advance through your result set. Initially your row pointer is positioned before the first result.

Typically you will use if(rs.next()) or while(rs.next()) to advance while there are records to read.
