Question

I have the following doGet():

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        MysqlDataSource ds = new MysqlConnectionPoolDataSource();
        ds.setServerName("localhost");
        ds.setPort(3306);
        ds.setUser("root");
        ds.setPassword("");
        try {
            Connection connection = null ; 
            connection =  ds.getConnection();
            Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
            // create the DB .. 
            statement.executeUpdate("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS "
                            +"testSQLtable" )  ;

            // use DB ..

            statement.executeUpdate("USE testSQLtable") ; 

            // create table ...
            statement.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS  account "
                    +"CREATE TABLE  account ( "
                     +"accountNum INT( 11 ),"
                     +"dateCreated DATE NOT NULL,"
                     +"accountName TEXT,"
                     +"description TEXT,"
                     +"statusAccount TEXT,"
                     +"sumOfMoney INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT  0 );" )  ;
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

The first two executeUpdate of create DB and use him works fine . When in running reach to the line statement.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS accounnt ....." it throws an exception –

 com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CREATE TABLE  account ( accountNum INT( 11 ),dateCreated DATE NOT NULL,accountNa' at line 1

Answer 1

This should work in your case:

statement.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS  account ");
statement.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE  account ( "
                     +"accountNum INT( 11 ),"
                     +"dateCreated DATE NOT NULL,"
                     +"accountName TEXT,"
                     +"description TEXT,"
                     +"statusAccount TEXT,"
                     +"sumOfMoney INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT  0 )" )  ;

Cause: Statements can only execute one SQL-Statement with every call of the execute-methods.

If you want to execute two or more statements simultaneously you can do this with Batch-Jobs.
Like:

statement.addBatch("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS  account ");
statement.addBatch("CREATE TABLE  account ( "
                     +"accountNum INT( 11 ),"
                     +"dateCreated DATE NOT NULL,"
                     +"accountName TEXT,"
                     +"description TEXT,"
                     +"statusAccount TEXT,"
                     +"sumOfMoney INT( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT  0 )" )  ;
statement.executeBatch();
