Insertion to oracle DB from txt file using java

Question

I am trying to fetch data from a file and insert it to a database using java. Following is my java code:

package edgelist;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.Math.*;
import java.sql.*;

public class Edgelist {
    private static int getRandomNumberInRange(int min, int max){
        if (min >= max) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("max must be greater than min");
        }
        Random r = new Random();
        return r.nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min;
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        FileInputStream f=null;
        int i,c=1;
        String num="";
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE",
                                                     "project",
                                                     "project");
        Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
        String s=null,ver1=null,ver2=null;
        int serial=0,type;
        //PreparedStatement ps=con.prepareStatement(s);

        try {
            f=new FileInputStream("F:\\College Project\\dolphin.txt");
            do {
                i=f.read();
                if(i!=-1) {
                    if((char) i !=' ' && (char) i !='\n' && (char) i !='\r') {
                        num=num+(char) i;
                    } else {
                        if(!num.matches("")) {
                            if((char) i == ' ') {
                                //System.out.println("Random:"+getRandomNumberInRange(1, 10)+" "+num);
                                serial=++c;
                                ver1=num;
                            } else if(!((char) i >= '0') && ((char) i <= '9')) {
                                ver2=num;
                            }
                        }
                        num="";
                        type=getRandomNumberInRange(1, 10);
                        s="insert into edges(serial_no, vertex1, vertex2, edge_type)"
                           +"values("+serial+", '"+ver1+"', '"+ver2+"', "+type+")";
                        stmt.executeQuery(s);
                    }

                }
            } while(i!=-1);
        } catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        catch(IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        } finally  {
            try {
                if(f != null)
                    f.close();
                con.close();
            } catch(IOException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
            }
        }
    }
}

This code is fetching the data from the file correctly but while trying to insert into the DB it gives following error

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00001: unique constraint (PROJECT.SYS_C004002) violated

at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:331) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoer.processError(T4CTTIoer.java:288) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4C8Oall.receive(T4C8Oall.java:743) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CStatement.doOall8(T4CStatement.java:207) at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CStatement.executeForRows(T4CStatement.java:946) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.doExecuteWithTimeout(OracleStatement.java:1169) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeQuery(OracleStatement.java:1273) at edgelist.Edgelist.main(Edgelist.java:77) Java Result: 1

Here is the table edge structure

CREATE TABLE  "EDGES" (
    "SERIAL_NO" NUMBER, 
    "VERTEX1" VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL ENABLE, 
    "VERTEX2" VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL ENABLE, 
    "EDGE_TYPE" NUMBER, 
     PRIMARY KEY ("SERIAL_NO") ENABLE, 
     FOREIGN KEY ("EDGE_TYPE")
     REFERENCES  "TYPES" ("SERIAL_NO") ENABLE
)

here TYPES table contains values from 1 to 10 and the file dolphin.txt is an edgelist containing following data:

That error means that you're trying to insert a row with a key that's already in your table.

You define a primary key on SERIAL_NO, and that field is populated with your serial variable, but the problem is that you don't always perform serial=++c;, because it's inside an if statement.

This means that you can insert the same serial value more than once, hence the error you're getting.

The solution is probably to increment the java variable serial before every insert. Alternative solution would be to use a database sequence to populate the PK column. Or perhaps consider whether a compound primary might be necessary ( serial_no, vertex1, vertex2). This comes down to business rules which only the OP knows.

After editing my logic here is the code that works perfectly:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.Math.*;
import java.sql.*;

/**

public class Edgelist {

    private static int getRandomNumberInRange(int min, int max)
    {

        if (min >= max) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("max must be greater than min");
        }

        Random r = new Random();
        return r.nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min;
    }
  public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
    {

        FileInputStream f=null;
        int i,c=0,v1_chck=0,v2_chck=0;
        String num="";

            Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
            Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE","project","project");
            Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
            String s=null,ver1=null,ver2=null;
            int serial=0,type;




        try
        {
            f=new FileInputStream("F:\\College Project\\dolphin.txt");
            do

                    {
                        num=num+(char) i;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        if((char) i == ' ') 
                        {

                            v1_chck=1;
                            num="";
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            if((char) i == '\n')
                            {

                                num="";
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    if(v1_chck==1 && v2_chck==1)
                    {
                        ++serial;
                        type=getRandomNumberInRange(1, 10);

                        s="insert into edges(serial_no, vertex1, vertex2, edge_type)"
                          +"values("+serial+", '"+ver1+"', '"+ver2+"', "+type+")";
                        stmt.executeQuery(s);


                        v1_chck=0;
                        v2_chck=0;
                    }

                }
            }while(i!=-1);
        }
        catch(FileNotFoundException e)
        {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        catch(IOException e)
        {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
        finally 
        {
            try
            {
                if(f != null)
                    f.close();
                con.commit();
                con.close();
            }
            catch(IOException e)
            {
                System.out.println(e);
            }
        }


    }
}

you can also use preparedStatement()
