I’m trying to run this SQL statement in Java

 public void updateDBSettings() throws SQLException {


        //here the values from the updatedSettingsMap will be inserted into the database

            String storedPassword = null;        
            String SQL_Statement = null;

            if (ds == null) throw new SQLException();      
       Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
            if (conn == null) throw new SQLException();      

       try {
            conn.setAutoCommit(false);
            boolean committed = false;
                try {
                       SQL_Statement = "UPDATE GLOBALSETTINGS" +
                                            "SET \"SettingValue\"  =" +
                                              "CASE" +
                                                "WHEN \"SettingName\" = 'SessionTTL' THEN '2'" +
                                                "WHEN \"SettingName\" = 'MaxUsersActive' THEN '23'" +
                                              "END" +
                                       "WHERE \"SettingName\"  IN ('SessionTTL', 'MaxUsersActive')";


                       PreparedStatement updateQuery = conn.prepareStatement(SQL_Statement);
  //                     updateQuery.setString(1, "20");
  //                     updateQuery.setString(2, "40");

                       updateQuery.executeQuery();

                       conn.commit();
                       committed = true;
                 } finally {
                       if (!committed) conn.rollback();
                       }
            }
                finally {               
                conn.close();

                }  

       }

If I run this SQL query in SQL developer it works fine:

UPDATE GLOBALSETTINGS
SET "SettingValue" =
  CASE
    WHEN "SettingName" = 'SessionTTL'
    THEN '30'
    WHEN "SettingName" = 'MaxUsersActive'
    THEN '40'
  END
WHERE "SettingName" IN ('SessionTTL', 'MaxUsersActive');

I added escape characters in order to use the SQL statement with java. Do I need to place escape characters before single quotes?

    SQL_Statement = "UPDATE GLOBALSETTINGS" +
            "SET \"SettingValue\"  =" +
              "CASE" +
                "WHEN \"SettingName\" = 'SessionTTL' THEN '2'" +
                "WHEN \"SettingName\" = 'MaxUsersActive' THEN '23'" +
              "END" +
       "WHERE \"SettingName\"  IN ('SessionTTL', 'MaxUsersActive')";

    There is no space between GLOBALSETTINGS and SET in your concatenated statement, hence the statement is not valid SQL. You have the same issue with the When, End and Where keywords.
