Question

I have an Update Query Problem with jdbc and Access. The database name is ‘avi’ and it has a table called ‘part1’ inside it.! Table

The code:

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:avi");
Statement statement = con.createStatement( );
String queryTemp="UPDATE part1 SET level=5 where qid=1";
statement.executeQuery(queryTemp);

The table does have an entry with qid=1.
Here’s the console error:

java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in
 UPDATE statement.
    at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(JdbcOdbc.java:6957)
    at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:7114)
    at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.SQLExecDirect(JdbcOdbc.java:3110)
    at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.execute(JdbcOdbcStatement.java:338)
    at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcStatement.executeQuery(JdbcOdbcStatement.java:2

53)
at Conn.updt(Conn.java:47)

Line 47 is statement.executeQuery(queryTemp);

Am I going wrong in the Query?

You need to add square brackets to reserved words:

[level]
