Prepared Statement for Create Table

Zulfi KhanAug 6 2017 — edited Aug 8 2017

Hi,

Hi,

I am trying to create a prepared statement for create table query. This means that I want to parameterize the table name. Some body please guide. I am using the following code:

Your table name contains invalid character.

Check for the permitted characters in the table name.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/identifiers.html

Invoke the below two statements on http://rextester.com/l/mysql_online_compiler  and check the results.

Create table if not exists 2015-SE-001 (id INTEGER not null primary key auto_increment, name varchar(30),  totalTheoryClasses INTEGER, totalLabs INTEGER, WeekNo INTEGER, DaysPresent INTEGER, DaysAbset INTEGER, Percentage FLOAT);

Create table if not exists 2015_SE_001 (id INTEGER not null primary key auto_increment, name varchar(30),  totalTheoryClasses INTEGER, totalLabs INTEGER, WeekNo INTEGER, DaysPresent INTEGER, DaysAbset INTEGER, Percentage FLOAT);

On the other hand, why would you need to create the tables on the fly?

This means that I want to parameterize the table name.

That means you are doing SEVERAL things wrong.

1. You don't 'parameterize' table names in queries. The table name can NOT be a bind variable

2. You should NOT be using a parameter for the table name anyway. You should NOT be creating multiple identical tables with different names. That usually means you have the wrong data model.

This appears to be a continuation of your previous issue

How to check empty Excel cell using while loop?

Until you tell people ALL of the requirements about the real problem you are trying to solve it is hard to give you help.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions. I have solved this prob:

 
2. You should NOT be using a parameter for the table name anyway. You should NOT be creating multiple identical tables with different names. That usually means you have the wrong data model.

Its easy. I am keeping each students' record in a separate table. And the Head can check it with a simple 'Select' query but now there is table name alteration he has to remember. I mean its simple to say "Select * from 2015_SE_21" as compared to using a where clause.

<On the other hand, why would you need to create the tables on the fly?>

I have to read excel sheet for roll numbers & then create tables for each rollNo & each table will contain attendance data for each specific student.

I check the documentation under prepared statement but i cant find that prepared statement can not be allowed on create table query. Even stackoverflows provide its solutions. 

Problem Solved.Thanks.

I check the documentation under prepared statement but i cant find that prepared statement can not be allowed on create table query.

That is NOT what I said - reread my reply.

I said that table names can NOT be used for bind variables. You need to construct a query that has the table name already in it - you can't use a 'setXXX' statement to alter the table name.

I am keeping each students' record in a separate table.

That is what I meant when I said you are likely using the wrong data model.

You should keep like data in the same table. One table to hold rows for ALL students.

By using that correct data model your problem goes away - there is only ONE table name to remember and only one table to query.

mNem

Do a google search for "student attendance database" images. Should give you some idea.

Try to produce some queries with your design on paper first.

mNem

Try not to leave commented out code blocks in the methods. Keep it clean. It helps.
