            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

This is not the code you're running considering the message

syntax error at or near "["

Edit: Not that you should be using scriptlets at all. And also most definately not be loading the driver and getting a new connection with every page load, use a pool.

Again, this cannot be the code you are executing. Where in the SQL statements you are using does a "[" appear? As, the error that is appearing is indicating that there is a "[" in the SQL that it tried to execute.

Well now, that's more like it. See those brackets "[" "]"? Those are not legal sql. That is MS stuff.

Member Avatar for ankurmawanda

thank you very much for pointing that out....i am now able to post static queries to the database


ie

myStatement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO tab1 VALUES ('a',12)");

can you please tell me how to write a proper dyanamic query

thnx in advance

See the jdbc tutorials paying attention to the preparedstatement portion.
