Question

I’m trying to delete an event from my table. However I can’t seem to get it to work.
My SQL statement is:

  public void deleteEvent(String eventName){
    String query = "DELETE FROM `Event` WHERE `eventName` ='"+eventName+"' LIMIT 1";
    db.update(query);
    System.out.println (query);
}

Using MySQL db

Answer 1

Try using the following :

String query = "DELETE FROM `Event` WHERE `eventName` ='"+eventName+"' LIMIT 1";

        try {
            Connection con = getConnection();
            Statement s = con.createStatement();

            s.execute(query);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

You have to code your getConnection() method to return a valid Database Connection.
