ResultSet How to get strin from object when data is null?


In my Oracle table there are columns with different type.





I want to read all columns as number.




String str = resultSet.getString("col1");



The problem is that if column in database is defined as number, and value is




0.5




The returned string will be




.5




I can not use any other getter like getDecimal and etc.



if I use:




String str = resultSet.getObject("col1").toString();



I'll get an exception if the value is null.

  1. You could use

    String str = String.valueOf(resultSet.getObject("col1"));


    as a simple workaround to avoid any exceptions. (Not sure why you can't use resultSet.getDouble("col1") though.)

  2. If you don't want to see an empty string rather than the literal "null" for a null value (which is what String.valueOf()) will produce, you can use:

    Object value = resultSet.getObject("col1")
    String str = value == null ? "" value.toString();
