Adding data from an array to a table

Question

How can i add information from an array to a table via JDBC? I have tried:
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO TEMP " + "VALUES (" + carData[0] + ", " + carData[1]);
but i get the error:
SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
Also, can i only add data to some columns of a row and not all?

Answer 1

If your TEMP table has only two columns and both of
them are of number
types, and your array contains only numeric types
(int[], long[] etc., it should not be a problem.
If your table contains more than two columns (and the
remaining columns are nullable) you need to list the
column names in the insert statement. Check your table
definition in the database and see SQL syntax for
insert.
If your columns are of string type, you need to
enclose the values in quotes (alternatively, use
PreparedStatement).I agree with this.
Here is the syntax that he was talking about
//if the values are numeric
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO TEMP(<COLUMN NAME>,<COLUMN NAME>) "
+ "VALUES(" + carData[0] + "," + carData[1] + ")";
//if the values are text
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO TEMP(<COLUMN NAME>,<COLUMN NAME>) "
+ "VALUES('" + carData[0] + "','" + carData[1] + "')";
Notice that the last part of your original query was incorrect. You forgot to put the bracket in quotes again.
