Deleting a row from a database...

Question

Here is the method I am calling to delete a row from a database. I keep getting this error, but I am not sure why.
Error: "Too few parameters. Expected 1."
//To delete a row
  public void removeRow(String x, String y) {
   try {
   Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
   //delete row with same x and y
//first is a string and second is a number
   String query = "DELETE * FROM table WHERE first = '" +x+ "' AND " +
   "second = " +Integer.parseInt(y);
   int result = stmt.executeUpdate(query); //runs delete query, ERROR HERE *************
   System.out.println("Test"); //debug statement, never gets here
   //deletion confirmation message
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Row deleted",
   "Delete Reservation", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
      catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); }

Answer 1

Additionally, in the future you might want to use:
catch(SQLException sqlx) {
  System.out.println( sqlx.getSQLState()
                                   +"\t"+sqlx.getMessage()
                                   +"\t"+sqlx.getErrorCode() );... It'll help with diagnostics.
