SQL 1064 Syntax Error using a JDBC prepared statement

Question

I have:

String query = \"INSERT INTO Basestations VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?,\"
               + \"?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)\";                  


PreparedStateme         


        

Answer 1

You're passing an string representing an invalid SQL statement to the executeUpdate() method when you don't need to. Try just doing prep.executeUpdate();.

Answer 2

In your last line you don't need pass the variable query.

So change

 prep.executeUpdate(query);

For:

 prep.executeUpdate();

Answer 3

The main error is here:

 // incorrect
 prep.executeUpdate(query);

 // correct
 prep.executeUpdate();

But please try to put your SQL in the following form:

UPDATE table_name(field1, field2, field3) VALUES(?, ? ,?)

This will prevent your code from breaking if there is an update to the table.
