First of all, don't use all CAPS when typing, it gets difficult to follow your text! Also try putting your code in [ code ] -tags in the future, it's so much easier to follow code that way.
Looking at your database it appears as if name isn't holding a value when you use it in your database call.
Verify that it *IS holding a value, you can do that by printing it to the console, i.e.
System.out.println( request.getParameter("name")  );
