Postgres Exception : No results were returned by the query.

I am trying to insert some rows in to a table... I am using postgressql-7.2.jar.

I get the following exception

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: No results were returned by the query.

at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeQuery(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:255)

I have already Googled and the possible reasons suggested are

1. Use executeUpdate() method or execute() method instead of executeQuery() method.

2. This could possibly be because of jar problem; try other versions of postgres jars.

3. In some places they save it could be because of heap space error.

I have tried all the three solutions but none of them work...

I am not pasting the code since I have just used statement.executeUpdate(queryString). The insert statements load the data in to the table but still I get this error.

Ca开发者_如何学运维n some one help me out in this?

What type of SQL statement are you trying to run with executeQuery()? It should not be an INSERT or UPDATE - these are not queries.

Without posting the actual SQL statement, code samples, or what the table looks like - it's pretty hard to actually help you with your problem. Without specifics all we can do is guess.

This code works perfectly for me running PostgreSQL 8.1 and its driver. Perhaps it can be a template for finding what's wrong with yours.

You need a single table named PERSON with columns PERSON_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME. I made PERSON_ID the auto incremented primary key.

A statement inserting rows does not return any rows back as a result, as opposed to a SELECT.
