How to Fix the Column id not found Error in Spring Boot

When developing applications using Spring Boot, you may encounter various errors during runtime. One such error is the infamous Column id not found error, which can leave developers scratching their heads. This message often appears when there's a discrepancy in your database queries, particularly when you're trying to fetch data from your database but the specified column doesn't exist or isn't correctly referenced.

Understanding the Problem

In this guide, we'll explore a real-world scenario where a developer is attempting to retrieve user registration details. The goal is to check if a user's email already exists in the database before allowing new registrations. Although the implementation works fine when using a new email, it throws a server error (status 500) when the existing email is used.

Here’s the error message encountered:

This error indicates that the query being executed does not correctly reference the expected columns in the database. Let’s dive into the code that contributed to this error and the solution that can help you get back on track.

Analyzing the Code

The error points towards the query defined in the SessionHandlingRepository interface. Here's the relevant portion of the code:

Existing Repository Code

The Issue

Here, the query attempts to fetch only the email field, which means it returns a record that does not include the id field. Since the method is expected to return a SessionHandling object (which includes all fields, including id), the mismatch leads to the aforementioned error.

Proposed Solution

To resolve this issue, we should modify the query to select all fields from the session_handling table so that a complete SessionHandling object can be constructed. Here’s the updated code:

Explanation of the Changes

Using Select *: This syntax fetches all the columns available in the session_handling table, ensuring that the SessionHandling object can be fully populated—thus, avoiding any column-not-found errors.

Returning the Full Object: With this change, the method will now provide the complete object necessary for further processing in your service.

Testing the Changes

After updating the query, make sure to test your application to confirm that the error is resolved and that existing emails correctly trigger the intended behavior (throwing an error if the email already exists).

Basic Testing Steps:

Attempt to register with a new email – it should succeed.

Attempt to register with an existing email – it should throw an exception indicating the user already exists.

Conclusion

The Column id not found error in Spring Boot can usually be traced back to incorrectly structured SQL queries. By understanding the relationship between the database schema and your entity classes, you can prevent and fix such errors efficiently. Implement the suggested changes to your queries, and your application should handle user registrations smoothly!

As you continue developing in Spring Boot, remember to always ensure that your SQL queries match the structure of your entities. Happy coding!
