executeUpdate() returns zero despite correct execution

Question

create_PaperBean.java

package Beans;

import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.loggin         


        

Answer 1

st.executeUpdate() either returns the row count for SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements or0 for SQL statements that return nothing.

Creating a table is neither an INSERT nor an UPDATE, so it's normal to receive 0 as no row(s) were affected.
