Nested Queries using CSVJDBC

Question

i am trying to perform a nested query using csvJDBC.

The tables in question has the following attributes:

comp(comp_id, comp_description)
work_opportunities(wo_id, jp_id)
link_wo_comp (wo_id, comp_id)

The query is:

SELECT comp_id, count(comp_id)
FROM link_wo_comp
WHERE wo_id IN (SELECT distinct wo_id FROM work_opportunities WHERE jp_id = '1')
GROUP BY comp_id;

I have executed the sub query and the main query on their own and they have worked.

This is the code i am using:

try {
            Class.forName("org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver");

            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:relique:csv:"
                    + "D:/Desktop/Data/Cleansed/");

            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

            String sql = "SELECT comp_id, count(comp_id) "
                    + "FROM link_wo_comp "
                    + "WHERE wo_id IN (SELECT distinct wo_id FROM work_opportunities WHERE jp_id = '1') "
                    + "GROUP BY comp_id;";

            ResultSet results = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

            boolean append = true;
            CsvDriver.writeToCsv(results, System.out, append);

            // Clean up
            conn.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

The error log is this:

java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error: Encountered "" at line 1, column 66.
Was expecting one of:

    at org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvStatement.executeQuery(Unknown Source)
    at testing.TestRun.main(TestRun.java:30)

Does csvJDBC support nested queries, and if so what is wrong with my code?

Thanks

To put it in simple terms No it wont support.

CsvJdbc accepts only SQL SELECT queries from a single table and does not support INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or CREATE statements. Joins between tables in SQL SELECT queries are not supported.

Refer the doc link for more

CSVJDBC may not be able to handle nested queries or SELECT statements from more than one CSV file at a time, but HSQLDB supports CSV files as Text Tables so you could use code like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // create HSQLDB :file: database in the same folder as the CSV files
    String connectionUrl = "jdbc:hsqldb:file:C:/__tmp/hsqldbCSV/Cleansed/hsqldb";
    try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl, "SA", "")) {
        try (Statement s = conn.createStatement()) {
            s.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS comp");
            s.execute("CREATE TEXT TABLE comp (comp_id int, comp_description varchar(50))");
            s.execute("SET TABLE comp SOURCE 'comp.csv'");
            s.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS work_opportunities");
            s.execute("CREATE TEXT TABLE work_opportunities (wo_id int, jp_id int)");
            s.execute("SET TABLE work_opportunities SOURCE 'work_opportunities.csv'");
            s.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS link_wo_comp");
            s.execute("CREATE TEXT TABLE link_wo_comp (wo_id int, comp_id int)");
            s.execute("SET TABLE link_wo_comp SOURCE 'link_wo_comp.csv'");
            String sql = "SELECT comp_id, count(comp_id) "
                    + "FROM link_wo_comp "
                    + "WHERE wo_id IN (SELECT distinct wo_id FROM work_opportunities WHERE jp_id = '1') "
                    + "GROUP BY comp_id;";
            try (ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql)) {
                while (rs.next()) {
                    System.out.println(String.format("comp_id: %d, count: %d", rs.getInt(1), rs.getInt(2)));
                }
            }
            s.execute("SHUTDOWN");
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace(System.err);
    }
}
