Problem with sql statement

Question

hi
i have a strange problem....when i run the following code with the 'if' statement commented out then it works fine. but when i have to search a particular name, say roy , then i include that if statement. but now it gives an error like no such data found.
if the return typ of result.getString(2) is a string type then i wonder what is the problem. i enclose the code below.
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class checkDoc
     public static void main(String args[])
          String name;
          ResultSet result;
          try
               name= "roy";
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
               Connection con;
               con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MyDataSource","","");
               Statement stat = con.createStatement();
               result = stat.executeQuery("Select * from Details1");
               while (result.next())
/* problem here*/
/*     if(result.getString(2).equals(name))
     */               System.out.println(result.getString(2));
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println("Error"+e);

thanks alot for that help...but now there is another silly problem!..
i following is perhaps the simplest code possible for insering data into an ACCESS database.(simplest possible with just one column by the name Doc_name and table name is docdetails)...but it gives the error...
"java.sql.SQLException:syntax error or in INSERT INTO statement"
someone plz help!
import java.sql.*;
public class checkDoc4
     public static void main(String args[])
          ResultSet rs;
          try
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
               Connection con;
               con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MyDataSource2","","");
Statement stat = con.createStatement();
                    stat.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO docdetails" +
     "VALUES ('ankur')");          
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println("Error"+e);
