[Solved] org.springframework.dao. DataIntegrityViolationException: could not execute statement

Leave a comment

Hibernate throws ConstraintViolationException, when tries to insert a row or update particular column or delete records that violate underlying database integrity constraints.
Below is some common situation where ConstraintViolationException occurs:

  • Insert a record with primary key as null.
  • Insert/ Update primary key value is not unique.
  • Insert data value size is more than predefine column size.
  • The inserted record data type is not compatible with predefined column type.

ConstraintViolationException Example

Here below exception is occurring because inserting value of primary key as null.

@Entity
public class Publication {
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	protected Long id;

	@NotNull
	@Size(max = 100)
	@Column(unique = true)
	private String title;

	private int year;
	//getter and setter methods
	}

Solutions

As primary key rule states that columns set as primary key not allowed Null value and only contained unique values so that row can uniquely identified base don primary key.

To resolve this issue pass primary key column (id) value as unique and not NULL.
