Java DSN connection to database

Question

This code compiles without error and executes as anticipated but does not make the database update...
public void updateFunctionality(String lastName, int goalsIntScored )
                     String sql = "Update UsersTable Set PlayerGoalsScored= " + goalsIntScored + " Where PlayerLastName= " + lastName + ";
      try
     dbAccessCon.getStatement().execute(sql);
     System.out.println("Data Updated");
     dbAccessCon.disconnect();
     catch ( SQLException e )
     System.out.println( "Error: " + dbAccessCon.getLastError() );
     System.out.println("Record Updated");
     }Can a pair or fresh eyes help me?

Answer 1

It still won't make the update, it has to be the SQL statement doesn't it?
I've tried all the ' and " combinations possible and still no luck.
public void updateFunctionality(String lastName, int goalsIntScored ) throws SQLException
                     String sql = "Update PlayerTable Set PlayerGoalsScored= " + goalsIntScored + " Where  PlayerLastName= ' " + lastName + " '";
     try
          dbAccessCon.getStatement().execute(sql);
          System.out.println("Data Updated");
          dbAccessCon.disconnect();
          dbAccessCon.close();
     catch ( SQLException e )
                          System.out.println( "Error: " + dbAccessCon.getLastError() );
     System.out.println("Record Updated");
     }Here is how I make my DSN connection:
public boolean connect( String user, String password, String dataBase)
//     If we are connected, disconnect first!
     if ( isConnected )
          if ( !disconnect() )
          return( false );
//     Construct a JDBC connection URL
                     String dbUrl = "jdbc:odbc:" + dataBase;
//     Was there a problem?
                     if ( dbUrl == null )
     return( false );
//     Try to make a connection...
     try
//     Make a properties object to pass to the JDBC driver...
          Class myClass = sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver.class;
          Properties p = new Properties();
          p.put( "user", user );
          p.put( "password", password );
//     IDS Connections require a little more...
          myConnection = getConnection( dbUrl, p );
          myStatement = myConnection.createStatement();
                     catch ( SQLException e )
          lastError = e.toString();
          System.out.println( "Error during driver initialization: " + lastError );
          return( false );
//     It worked!
     isConnected = true;
     System.out.println("isConnected = " + isConnected);
     return( true );
     }I definitely make the disconnection so the SQL has to execute but still no change in the anticipated field.
