Re: Please help with JSP mysql update query
 
this is the error message
: method executeUpdate(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) not found in interface java.sql.Statement

it seems there is a declaration problem. I am using the com.mysql, and the function seems to be present

The problem is in the query brackets: ('" + blabla + "','" + blabla + "','" + blabla + "')" letting the output like ('xxx','yyy','zzz')

Hi,
I think your Html missing some part. Could you please clarify that what is your form doing? Get the question + answer + subject from user... then update to database?

kind regards,
yup

Re: Please help with JSP mysql update query
 
In the following examples, please substitute your information where the following data is referenced:

<server>: enter the MySQL server that you are assigned to, for example, mysql4.safesecureweb.com
<username>: enter the username provided for your database
<password>: enter the password provided for your database
<database>: enter the database name provided for your database
<DSN>: enter the DSN name (ColdFusion only)
PHP
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('<server>', '<username>', '<password>');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(<database>);
?>

ColdFusion
<CFQUERY Name="test" DATASOURCE="<DSN>" USERNAME="<username>" PASSWORD="<password>">
</CFQUERY>

Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;

$db = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:<database>","<username>","<password>")
or die("Couldn't connect");

$db->disconnect;

JSP
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" %>

<%!
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
java.sql.Connection conn;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://<server>/<database>?user=<username>&password=<password>");
%>

Kid, check the dates on threads you're replying to. This one was resolved well over 2 years ago.

But do tell, is it a new sport somewhere to create forum accounts just to post nonsense to age old threads?
I've been seeing it a lot lately.

Javascript is amazing, I didn't think you could touch mysql with it!
Everyone kept telling me to use php with my js to get into sql.
HAHA I feel like a million bucks!

Except that this isn't JavaScript.
