HowTo insert into tableName with select and specifying insert columns at Jooq? - jooq

Question

I'm using Jooq to generate SQL
Here is resulting query
insert into MY_TABLE -- I want INSERT INTO(firstField,secondField)
select
?,
?
where not exists (
select 1
from MY_TABLE
where (
firstField = ?
)
)
returning id
MY_TABLE DDL:
create table IF NOT EXISTS MY_TABLE
(
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
firstField int not null,
secondField int not null
)
I can't make Jooq add field names next to insert into MY_TABLE
My builder:
JooqBuilder.default()
.insertInto(table("MY_TABLE"))
.select(
select(
param(classOf[Int]), // 1
param(classOf[Int]), // 2
)
.whereNotExists(select(inline(1))
.from(table("MY_TABLE"))
.where(
DSL.noCondition()
.and(field("firstField", classOf[Long]).eq(0L))
)
)
).returning(field("id")).getSQL
I've tried
.insertInto(table("MY_TABLE"),field("firstField"), field("secondField"))
UPD:
I was confused by compiler exception.
The right solution is
```scala
JooqBuilder.default()
.insertInto(table("MY_TABLE"),
field("firstField",classOf[Int]),
field("secondField",classOf[Int])
)
.select(
select(
param(classOf[Int]),
param(classOf[Int])
)
.whereNotExists(select(inline(1))
.from(table("MY_TABLE"))
.where(
DSL.noCondition()
.and(field("firstField", classOf[Long]).eq(0L))
)
)
).returning(field("id")).getSQL
The thing is that Jooq takes field types from insertInto and doesn't compile if select field types don't match.
I've tried
.insertInto(table("MY_TABLE"),
field("firstField"),
field("secondField")
)
and it didn't compile since no match with
.select(
select(
param(classOf[Int]), // 1
param(classOf[Int]) // 2
)
I've added types to insertInto fields and got match, two ints in insert, two ints in select.
Jooq generated expected query
insert into MY_TABLE -- I want INSERT INTO(firstField,secondField)
select
?,
?
where not exists (
select 1
from MY_TABLE
where (
firstField = ?
)
)

jOOQ just generates exactly the SQL you tell it to generate. You're not listing firstField,secondField in jOOQ, so jOOQ doesn't list them in SQL. To list them in jOOQ, just add:
// ...
.insertInto(table("MY_TABLE"), field("firstField", classOf[Long]), ...)
// ...
Obviously, even without using the code generator, you can reuse expressions by assigning them to local variables:
val t = table("MY_TABLE")
val f1 = field("firstField", classOf[Long])
val f2 = field("secondField", classOf[Long])
And then:
// ...
.insertInto(t, f1, f2)
// ...
Using the code generator
Note that if you were using the code generator, which jOOQ recommends, your query would be much simpler:
ctx.insertInto(MY_TABLE, MY_TABLE.FIRST_FIELD, MY_TABLE.SECOND_FIELD)
.values(v1, v2)
.onDuplicateKeyIgnore()
.returningResult(MY_TABLE.ID)
.fetch();
