Does MySQL support's creation of hidden column? [duplicate] - mysql

Question

I am running a query on ID column but I don't want it to be visible in my frame/pane. How can I achieve this? Shall I make another table, is there a function in sql/mysql which allows to hide columns? I tried to google it but havent found anything yet.
Here is the code:
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e) {
int row = e.getFirstRow();
int col = e.getColumn();
model = (MyTableModel) e.getSource();
String stulpPav = model.getColumnName(col);
Object data = model.getValueAt(row, col);
Object studId = model.getValueAt(row, 0);
System.out.println("tableChanded works");
try {
new ImportData(stulpPav, data, studId);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
public class ImportData {
Connection connection = TableWithBottomLine.getConnection();
public ImportData(String a, Object b, Object c)
throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
Statement stmt = null;
try {
String stulpPav = a;
String duom = b.toString();
String studId = c.toString();
System.out.println(duom);
connection.setAutoCommit(false);
stmt = connection.createStatement();
stmt.addBatch("update finance.fin set " + stulpPav + " = " + duom
+ " where ID = " + studId + ";");
stmt.executeBatch();
connection.commit();
} catch (BatchUpdateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (stmt != null)
stmt.close();
connection.setAutoCommit(true);
System.out.println("Data was imported to database");
}
}
}
public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel{
int rowCount;
Object data [][];
String columnNames [];
public MyTableModel() throws SQLException{
String query ="SELECT ID, tbl_Date as Date, Flat, Mobile, Food, Alcohol, Transport, Outdoor, Pauls_stuff, Income, Stuff FROM finance.fin";
ResultSet rs ;
Connection connection = TableWithBottomLine.getConnection();
Statement stmt = null;
stmt = connection.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
rs.last();
rowCount = rs.getRow();
data = new Object[rowCount][11];
rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
for (int iEil = 0; iEil < rowCount; iEil++){
rs.next();
data[iEil][0] = rs.getInt("ID");
data[iEil][1] = rs.getDate("Date");
data[iEil][2] = rs.getFloat("Flat");
data[iEil][3] = rs.getFloat("Mobile");
data[iEil][4] = rs.getFloat("Food");
data[iEil][5] = rs.getFloat("Alcohol");
data[iEil][6] = rs.getFloat("Transport");
data[iEil][7] = rs.getFloat("Outdoor");
data[iEil][8] = rs.getFloat("Pauls_stuff");
data[iEil][9] = rs.getFloat("Income");
data[iEil][10] = rs.getFloat("Stuff");
}
String[] columnName = {"ID", "Date","Flat","Mobile"
,"Food","Alcohol","Transport", "Outdoor", "Pauls_stuff", "Income", "Stuff"};
columnNames = columnName;
}

Answer 1

This has solved my problem:
table.removeColumn(table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0));
I placed this in my class contructor. This lets remove the column from the view of the table but column 'ID' is still contained in the TableModel. I found that many people looking for an option to exclude specific column (like autoincrement) from SELECT statement in sql / mysql but the language itself doesn't have that feature. So I hope this solution will help others as well.

Answer 2

Don't put ID in the select part of the query
String query ="SELECT tbl_Date as Date, Flat, Mobile, Food, Alcohol, Transport,
Outdoor, Pauls_stuff, Income, Stuff FROM finance.fin";
