What Is Illegalstateexception?

What Is Illegalstateexception?

I am trying to use the following Fastload API

connection ... etc is perfect.


I know exactly where it fails

 ...........
 System.out.println(" Streaming " + dataFile);
 pstmtFld.setAsciiStream(1, dataStream, -1); // This line fails
 System.out.println("check the above line"); // This does not go to console
 ...........

Exception is

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Sample failed.

[ODBC Teradata Driver] Invalid precision: cbColDef value out of range


Here is my table that I am trying to upload. It is a .csv format and when I open it via notepad it look like this

1,9,Win
2,9,Winc
3,9,Wi

Why do I get this exception? How can I improve it? As far as I understand the problem is pstmtFld.setAsciiStream(1, dataStream, -1); does not accept the dataset somehow and throw an exception

Usually, IllegalStateException is used to indicate that "a method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time." However, this doesn't look like a particularly typical use of it.

The code you've linked to shows that it can be thrown within that code at line 259 - but only after dumping a SQLException to standard output.

We can't tell what's wrong just from that exception - and better code would have used the original SQLException as a "cause" exception (or just let the original exception propagate up the stack) - but you should be able to see more details on standard output. Look at that information, and you should be able to see what caused the exception, and fix it.

IllegalStateException signals that method has been invoked at the wrong time. In the example below we can see that the remove() method is mutating an element while its iterator is in a loop (an illegal call), which Java catches and throws:

package com.concepttimes.java;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
 
public class IllegalStateExceptionDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        List al = new ArrayList();
        al.add("Sachin");
        al.add("Rahul");
        al.add("saurav");
        Iterator itr = al.iterator();  
        while (itr.hasNext()) {           
            itr.remove();
        }
    }
}

Please refer to below link for more details.

Illegal State Exception is an Unchecked exception.

It indicate that method has been invoked at wrong time.

example:

Thread t = new Thread();
t.start();
//
//
t.start();

output:

Runtime Excpetion: IllegalThreadStateException

We cant start the Thread again, it will throw IllegalStateException.

public class UserNotFoundException extends Exception {
    public UserNotFoundException(String message) {
        super(message)
