org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: syntax error at or near "("

Question

I have craeted a Web Application that can be deployed on Heroku by maven eclipse.

Group Id: org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes

Artifact Id: jersey-heroku-webapp

version: 2.17

I tested the appication on the localhost and POSTMAN and it works fine. I pushed it to heroku to test it on servlet container but I am getting 520 OK 520 it is just a number that I return in the SQLEXCEPTION. IN the Heroku log I found this error:

            System.out.println("jar works :) ");

        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();

            // Create a statement
            Statement stt = con.createStatement();

            DatabaseMetaData dbm = con.getMetaData();

            ResultSet tables = dbm.getTables(null, null, "bus", null);

            if (tables.next()) {
                // stt.execute("ALTER TABLE bus AUTO_INCREMENT = 1");

                return insertRecord(mac, route, latD, longD, status, con);

            } else {
                // Create bus table
                stt.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS bus"
                        + "(id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,"
                        + "mac VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL UNIQUE,"
                        + "route int(11) NOT NULL,"
                        + "latitude FLOAT(10,6) NOT NULL,"
                        + "longitude FLOAT(10,6) NOT NULL,"
                        + "created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)");

                stt.execute("CREATE EVENT IF NOT EXISTS  AutoDelete "
                        + "ON SCHEDULE EVERY 3 MINUTE "
                        + "DO "
                        + "DELETE FROM bus WHERE created_at < (NOW() - INTERVAL 3 MINUTE)");

                stt.execute("SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON");

                first_data_insert(mac, route, latD, longD, con);

            }
            return status;
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
            return status = 520;

        }
    }

Adding closing bracket at the end of CREATE query might resolve problem. `stt.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS bus" + "(id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY," + "mac VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL UNIQUE," + "route int(11) NOT NULL," + "latitude FLOAT(10,6) NOT NULL," + "longitude FLOAT(10,6) NOT NULL," + "created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))");` — Ved, May 13 '15 at 13:34

that indicate the sql query is not right. you might want to change it into something like this.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS bus;

CREATE TABLE bus( 
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
mac VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
route int NOT NULL,
latitude numeric(10,6) NOT NULL,
longitude numeric(10,6) NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

Note that create statement (afaik) is not a sql standard command. So, because you're using postgresql, you need to change it into postgresql create statement.

Thanks ! but I would work with mysql otherwise I have much code to change. Do you know any free charge provider where I can deploy my Jersey project in servlet container with my mysql syntax? – MrPencil May 13 '15 at 13:54
because if I type the following in the heroku prompt ` D:\maven\heroku_maven_by_eclipse\serverSide>heroku addons:create cleardb:ignite ! Please verify your account to install this add-on plan (please enter a credit card) For more information, see https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/bill ing Verify now at https://heroku.com/verify ` – MrPencil May 13 '15 at 13:59
usually i use openshift.com so you might want to try it. – kucing_terbang May 13 '15 at 14:12
Please can you take a look at this problem : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30234193/cannot-load-connection-class-because-of-underlying-exception-java-lang-numberf?noredirect=1#comment48575581_30234193 At the moment I am getting `java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host` – MrPencil May 14 '15 at 12:49
