How do I check to see if a column name exists in a CachedRowSet in JDBC?

CachedRowSet interface does not provide any methods to determine whether a particular column exists.
Therefore, to find whether a RowSet contains a specific column, you need to compare the name of each column in the RowSet with the required name. To do so −
Retrieve the ResultSetMetaData object from the RowSet using the getMetaData() method.
ResultSetMetaData meta = rowSet.getMetaData();
Get the number of columns in the RowSet using the getColumnCount() method.
int columnCount = meta.getColumnCount();
The getColumnName() method returns the name of the column of the specified index. Using this method retrieve the column names of the RowSet from index 1 to column count and compare name of the each column, with the required column name.
boolean flag = false;
for (int i = 1; i <=columnCount; i++) {
   if(meta.getColumnName(i).equals("ProductName")) {
      flag = true;
   }
}
Let us create a table with name sales in MySQL database, with one of the columns as auto-incremented, using CREATE statement as shown below −
CREATE TABLE Sales(
   ID INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
   ProductName VARCHAR (20),
   CustomerName VARCHAR (20),
   DispatchDate date,
   DeliveryTime time,
   Price INT,
   Location VARCHAR(20)
);
Now, we will insert 5 records in sales table using INSERT statements −
insert into sales (ProductName, CustomerName, DispatchDate, DeliveryTime, Price, Location) values('Key-Board', 'Raja', DATE('2019-09-01'), TIME('11:00:00'), 7000, 'India');
insert into sales (ProductName, CustomerName, DispatchDate, DeliveryTime, Price, Location) values('Earphones', 'Roja', DATE('2019-05-01'), TIME('11:00:00'), 2000, 'Vishakhapatnam');
insert into sales (ProductName, CustomerName, DispatchDate, DeliveryTime, Price, Location) values('Mouse', 'Puja', DATE('2019-03-01'), TIME('10:59:59'), 3000, 'Vijayawada');
insert into sales (ProductName, CustomerName, DispatchDate, DeliveryTime, Price, Location) values('Mobile', 'Vanaja', DATE('2019-03-01'), TIME('10:10:52'), 9000, 'Chennai');
insert into sales (ProductName, CustomerName, DispatchDate, DeliveryTime, Price, Location) values('Headset', 'Jalaja', DATE('2019-04-06'), TIME('11:08:59'), 6000, 'Goa');
Following JDBC program establishes connection with the database, retrieves the contents of the Sales table into the RowSet and finds out whether the it contains the column named ProductName.

      //Creating the RowSet object
      RowSetFactory factory = RowSetProvider.newFactory();
      CachedRowSet rowSet = factory.createCachedRowSet();
      //Setting the URL
      String mysqlUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/SampleDB";
      rowSet.setUrl(mysqlUrl);
      //Setting the user name
      rowSet.setUsername("root");
      //Setting the password
      rowSet.setPassword("password");
      //Setting the query/command
      rowSet.setCommand("select * from Sales");
      //Executing the command

      ResultSetMetaData meta = rowSet.getMetaData();
      int columnCount = meta.getColumnCount();
      boolean flag = false;
      for (int i = 1; i <=columnCount; i++) {
         if(meta.getColumnName(i).equals("ProductName")){
               flag = true;
         }
      }
      if(flag) {
         System.out.println("Specified column exist");
      } else {
         System.out.println("Specified column does not exists");
      }
      System.out.println("Contents of the row set");
      while(rowSet.next()) {
         System.out.print("ID: "+rowSet.getInt("ID")+", ");
         System.out.print("Product Name: "+rowSet.getString("ProductName")+", ");
         System.out.print("Customer Name: "+rowSet.getString("CustomerName")+", ");
         System.out.print("Dispatch Date: "+rowSet.getDate("DispatchDate")+", ");
         System.out.print("Delivery Time: "+rowSet.getTime("DeliveryTime")+", "););
         System.out.print("Price: "+rowSet.getString("Price")+", ");
         System.out.print("Location: "+rowSet.getString("Location"));
         System.out.println("");
      }
   }
}
