Calling a DB2 UDF within Java

[Brad Messerle]

I can execute the following sql inside the db2 command center and works fine.

values GetInvRespCntClmId(1);

Java Code

public String xyz(Connection con,int anInteger){

int responces = 0;
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
try {

pstmt = con.prepareStatement("values GetInvRespCntClmId(?)");
pstmt.setInt(1, anInteger);

ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
responces = rs.getInt(1);
}

rs.close();
pstmt.close();

} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
pstmt.close();
} catch (SQLException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}

return new Integer(responces).toString();

}

I get a DB2 --- DB2 SQL error: SQLCODE: -418, SQLSTATE: 42610, SQLERRMC: null

Any suggestions?

Thank You!

Brad,
Values() is a function in db2, not a SQL statement. So it wouldn't work from JDBC. You could create a select that goes against a system table and just return one row with that function call.

This is the technique Oracle uses for getting the system date.

What I did was create a view that I could create a query against.

Is this what you suggested? Can elebrate on creating a select statement against a system table?

Thanks!

Here is the sql statement i came up with but i cant get it to work from jdbc
select SumRecommendedLow(?) from xyz fetch first 1 row only

Can you please provide a sample sql statement calling a udf?


Thanks!

select SumRecommendedLow(?) from xyz fetch first 1 row only

This is the idea behind what I was thinking since xyz could be any table.

What happens when you try to call it from JDBC? Does it work if you hard code the parameter instead of using the "?" ?
