Java Mysql UPDATE error with prepared statement

Question

I am working on a java project and I need to update a row in a mysql database. I am using preparedStatement and I do get an error. I tried to use just statement and it works. But I need to set some data in my sql statemnet. So I have to use preparedStatement. What's wrong?

So I have a database with 4 colums: Integer id (AI), Boolean monf2d, Varchar monf2p & Varchar monf2a. The database has 2 rows and I want to update the first one, id 1.

1st version with PreparedStatement:

private Connection connection;
public void test() {
        PreparedStatement pr;
        String sql = "UPDATE routes SET monf2d = true, monf2p = 'Data1', monf2a = 'Data2'  WHERE id = ?";
        try {
            this.connection = ServerConnection.getConnection();
            pr = this.connection.prepareStatement(sql);
            pr.setInt(1,1);
            pr.executeQuery();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

2nd version with PreparedStatement:

private Connection connection;
public void test() {
        Statement st;
        String sql = "UPDATE routes SET monf2d = true, monf2p = 'Data1', monf2a = 'Data2'  WHERE id = 1";
        try {
            this.connection = ServerConnection.getConnection();
            st = this.connection.createStatement();
            st.execute(sql);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

When I am using the version with preparedStatement I get this error.

java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery().

Answer 1

To update a table in case of Statement, you have to use executeUpdate() method.

Instead of using

st.execute(sql);

use below.

st.executeUpdate(sql);

In case of PreparedStatement, you have to use executeUpdate() method.

To know more details about methods in Statement and PreparedStatment, check below the links. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html
