Another problem with updating in ms access

Question

Hello there,
Me too has a problem with the update statement and ms access (using 2003).
I've read many other problems, but a way to the solution that worked for I didn't found :S
The strange thing with my problem is that i'm able to update integer fields in the database, but not varchar/text fields.
I'm not getting any exception back, the database is closed (i'm very sure), so HELP! :)
I'll show you the code i'm connecting with the database:
public void openDatabaseConnection() {
        // Eerst controleren of de DatabaseDriver wel aanwezig is.
        try {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Looking for Class: " + e.toString());
        // Nu kan de connectie met de database opgezet worden.       
        try {
            theDatabaseConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Shawa","","ShaBaMa");           
        catch (SQLException ex) {
            System.out.println("openDatabaseConnection: SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
            System.out.println("openDatabaseConnection: SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("openDatabaseConnection: VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());        
    }The code for updating an integer field (wich is working!) is like this:
    public Customer cashCustomer(Customer aCustomer){
        PreparedStatement pstmt;
        ResultSet result;
        try{
            openDatabaseConnection();
            pstmt = theDatabaseConnection.prepareStatement("UPDATE customer SET aantal_bier = aantal_bier + ?, aantal_fris = aantal_fris + ? WHERE id=?");
            pstmt.setInt(1, aCustomer.getCashBeer());
            pstmt.setInt(2, aCustomer.getCashSoda());
            pstmt.setInt(3, aCustomer.getId());
            theDatabaseConnection.setAutoCommit(false);
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
            theDatabaseConnection.commit();
            pstmt.close();
            theDatabaseConnection.close();
        catch (SQLException eSql){
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: " + eSql.toString());
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: SQLException: " + eSql.getMessage());
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: SQLState: " + eSql.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("Cash Customer: VendorError: " + eSql.getErrorCode());
        return aCustomer;
    }Now the code for updating Varchar/text fields (wich is not working):
    public Customer editCustomer(Customer aCustomer){
        PreparedStatement pstmt;
        ResultSet result;
        try{
            openDatabaseConnection();
            pstmt = theDatabaseConnection.prepareStatement("UPDATE customer SET name=? , lastname=?, onderdeel=?, aantal_bier=?, aantal_fris=?, op_kaart=? WHERE id=?");
            pstmt.setString(1, aCustomer.getName());
            pstmt.setString(2, aCustomer.getLastname());
            pstmt.setString(3, aCustomer.getSection());
            pstmt.setInt(4, aCustomer.getBeer());
            pstmt.setInt(5, aCustomer.getSoda());
            pstmt.setInt(6, aCustomer.getId());
            pstmt.setString(7, aCustomer.getAddCash());
            theDatabaseConnection.setAutoCommit(false);
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
            theDatabaseConnection.commit();
            pstmt.close();
            theDatabaseConnection.close();
        catch (SQLException eSql){
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: " + eSql.toString());
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: SQLException: " + eSql.getMessage());
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: SQLState: " + eSql.getSQLState());
            System.out.println("Updating Customer: VendorError: " + eSql.getErrorCode());
        return aCustomer;
    }I can add and delete from the database. The thing with the ' ' didn't work for me too.
Anybody a solution for me??? plz plz plz!

Answer 1

You are updating zero records. Because you are filling in the parameter ofWHERE id=?with this code:pstmt.setString(7, aCustomer.getAddCash());The executeUpdate() method returns the number of records affected, if you wish to check that.
