Understanding the java.sql.SQLException: ResultSet closed Error

If you're working with Java and SQLite, you might encounter the java.sql.SQLException: ResultSet closed error. This issue usually stems from the way database connections are being handled, particularly when you have multiple instances of a database connection in your application. In this guide, we'll explore the root cause of this problem and walk you through the solution to resolve it effectively.

The Problem

In our case, you have two instances of a class called UsersDB, which connects to two separate SQLite databases—one for customers and one for merchants. Here's a brief overview of the scenario that leads to the error:

You've defined a UsersDB class for handling interactions with your SQLite databases.

You've created two instances, customerDB and merchantDB, but you experience errors when trying to call the addBalance(); or reduceBalance(); functions on one instance after the other instance has been defined.

When you try to perform database operations, you encounter the following errors:

java.sql.SQLException: ResultSet closed

java.sql.SQLException: database connection closed

The Cause of the Issue

The key to understanding this issue lies in how the Connection object is managed in your UsersDB class. In your implementation, the connection is defined as static:

This means that all instances of the UsersDB class will share the same connection. When multiple instances are created, such as merchantDB and customerDB, one instance might close the connection for operations, inadvertently affecting the other instance. This can lead to the SQLException errors you're seeing.

The Solution

To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that each instance of UsersDB manages its own connection independently. Here are the steps to implement this solution:

1. Remove the Static Keyword

You need to redefine the connection variable by removing the static keyword. Update your code as follows:

2. Update Database Operations Accordingly

Since the connection is no longer static, each instance will manage its own connection, and you should not encounter the ResultSet closed errors anymore.

3. Error Handling

Make sure to handle any exceptions that may arise when trying to connect to the database or execute queries to ensure stability in your application. For example, you can catch SQLException in your database operations to log and manage them gracefully.

Example of Updated Class Definition

Here’s how a part of your modified UsersDB class will look after the changes:

Conclusion

Understanding how static variables affect database connections is crucial when working with Java JDBC. By ensuring that each instance of your database interaction class has its own connection, you can prevent the java.sql.SQLException: ResultSet closed error. Always aim for clean, independent resource management in your applications.

By following these guidelines, you should be able to solve the connection issues you're facing with your UsersDB class. Happy coding!
