Re: Re: [INTERFACES] Q on JDBC's resultset - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Here's the code that I'm currently using. For Postgres, since there's
no tablename I pass it as an argument to the method (you can ignore that
part), for mysql I just check and see that all the table names are the
same.
Once I figure out that they're all in one table I check to see that
the resultset includes the primary key -- no primary key, no update.
I guess, since postgress supports oids, you could just fetch those
with the resultset and let the user update the table even if doesn't
have have a primary key. It does make things quite a bit more
complicated cause you need then to create a new query and somehow
hide the oid in the resultset.

for (ii = 0; ii < numberColumns; ii++)
    {
    if (!tableNamePassed)
        {
        //if we're getting it in the result set check to see all
        //columns are in one table
        if (tableName == "") //first one
            {
            tableName = selectModel.dbSelect.columns[ii].table;
            if(tableName.equals("") && (!tableNamePassed))
                {
                //tableName not passed and not from resultset. Can't update
                return (false);
                }
            }
        else
            {
            //if more than one table, not updatable
            if (!(tableName.equals(selectModel.dbSelect.columns[ii].table)))
                {
                return (false);
                }
            }
        }

    queryColumns.addElement(selectModel.dbSelect.columns[ii].name);

    }


try
    {
    // got the names of all the columns. They're all in one table
    dbTable = new DBTable(dbConnect, tableName);

    if(dbTable.primaryList.isEmpty())
        {
        return (false);
        }
        DBConsole.displayMessage("Checking for primary key");

        Enumeration enumeration;
        for (enumeration = dbTable.primaryList.elements();
                    enumeration.hasMoreElements(); )
            {
            colPos = (Integer) enumeration.nextElement();
            if(!queryColumns.contains(dbTable.columns[colPos.intValue()].name))
                    {
                    return(false);
                    }
            }
    }
catch (Exception excep)
    {
    DBConsole.messageDialog(excep);
    return(false);
    }
