How to store a file in a mysql database using blob

Question

I have searched about this matter a lot but, I didn't get a proper solution for my problem, I have following method for storing a file using java,

private void uploadFile() throws Exception {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/FileDb?autoReconnect=true", "user1", "123789");
        System.out.println("DB connection extablished!");

        PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO FilesTb(`FileData`) VAULES(?)");

        File file = new File(txtDir.getText() + "/" + txtFile.getText());// get path and file name from text fields

        FileInputStream fIn = new FileInputStream(file);
        statement.setBlob(1, fIn);
        statement.executeUpdate();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File stored successfully!");

    }

when I try to run this code I got following error,

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'VAULES(_binary'<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
