Question

I am just trying to use this as a very simple register system and i want to store the users and there passwords in my table users. Everything seems to work just fine up to the point were it actually executes the query. I believe it fails in a function called checkForDML(takes 2 parameters). Please help thank you.

//password is just censored    
String dbUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/gim?user=root&password=*********";
String dbClass = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String query = "Select * FROM users";

String user = txtUser.getText();
String password = txtPassword.getText();
txtUser.setText("");
txtPassword.setText("");
PreparedStatement ps;
query = "INSERT INTO gim.users(name, password) VALUES(?, ?)";
try
{
    Class.forName(dbClass).newInstance();
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/gim",   "root", "Pl4tf0rmD3v");
    ps = conn.prepareStatement(query);
    ps.setString(1, user);
    ps.setString(2, password);
    ps.executeQuery();
    conn.close();
}
catch(SQLException e) 
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The stacktrace is:

Answer 1

Use the executeUpate() method rather than the executeQuery() method for an INSERT statement: executeUpdate()
