understanding Java JDBC error

Question

I was hoping to have some assistance in understanding this error. I am making a simple connection to a database, and for some reason it doesn\'t like my input, but I am failing

Answer 1

Change your makeDeposit() methods this line: In this case you are not paasing your variables, but they are used as simple strings.

String sql = "insert into MYTABLE_TRANSACTIONS (ACCOUNT_ID,TRANSACTION_TYPE,AMOUNT) values(name, action, amount)";

to

String sql = "insert into MYTABLE_TRANSACTIONS (ACCOUNT_ID,TRANSACTION_TYPE,AMOUNT) values ("+name+", "+action+", "+amount+")";
