Java PreparedStatement complaining about SQL syntax on execute()

Question

This is driving me nuts... What am I doing wrong here?

ArrayList toAdd = new ArrayList();
toAdd.add(\"password\");
try{
    Prepa         


        

Answer 1

Placeholders in JDBC are for data, not for table, column, view or function names. And for good reason. The DB schema of an application is static most of the time and only changes rarely. There are no benefits making them dynamic.
