Prepared Statement help -- cant get it to work :(

Question

Context initialcontext = new InitialContext();
          DataSource datasource = (DataSource)initialcontext.lookup("java:comp/env/XYZ");
          Connection conn = datasource.getConnection();                
          String UPDATE = "update query with ?s ";
          PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(UPDATE);
          pstmt.setString(1,title);
          pstmt.setString(2,desc);
          pstmt.setInt(3,1);
          System.out.println("2a");
          pstmt.executeQuery(); ------- STUCK HERE
          System.out.println("2b");                              
          pstmt.close();
It goes between 2a and 2b and just stops working.. no errors nothing...
I have been trying to get this working the entire day... with no luck... any suggestions........

Answer 1

I am familiar with a few dialects of SQL. I've never seen
UPDATE <tbl> WITH...
What RDBMS are you using? I just searched the mySQL documentation on the keyword WITH (case sensitive) and found no form of update that uses it.
The ANSI SQL UPDATE statement takes the form...
UPDATE <tbl> SET <col> = <value>[, <col> = <value>...]
Also, you have three calls to setString, but only one ? in your String UPDATE indicating a position for a parameter.

Hope this helps. If there is a form of UPDATE that uses WITH, please provide me with a reference link. I'm supposed to know SQL. :-)
