SQL error....help.

Question

I am trying to delete a row in my database using SQL, here is the sql i am using
String query = "DELETE FROM USERS WHERE User ='" + s + "' AND Password = '" + p + "'";
instmnt.executeUpdate(query);
//USERS is the name of the table
// User and Password are the names of the columns
// s and p are strings obtained from the resultset
the error i am getting is: <Unknown column name: "USER"> .As I am using JBuilder it is preceded by <com.borland.datastore.q2.QueryError: [line 1, col 25]>.
The columns do exist, i am able to add new records to the table and extract data from the table and print them. my connection is fine. I have also tried every possible variation on that query i.e with and without brackets, with and without single or double quotation marks and a combination of everything. please help for the sake of my computer's safety (as I am about to vent my frustration on it).

Answer 1

Just an idea, maybe instmnt was connected to another database?
Or try to execute a query JUST before this delete statement?
Perhaps some source code would allow us to help you identify the problem?
