Answer 1

Don't you need a terminating ; on your sql statement. Also you should look into JPA, which will do all this database querying itself

Answer 2

You're calling the base Statement.executeUpdate(String) method, which has nothing to do with PreparedStatement and simply executes a string of raw SQL.

You need to call statement.executeUpdate() without parameters to use the derived method n PreparedStatement.
