Java ODBC


package homework3;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class hw3_2 {

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
       
        //Variables for database insert set by JOptionpane data input
        String course = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Course ID:");
        String desc = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Description:");
        String cred = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Credits:");
        int credits = Integer.parseInt(cred);     
       
        //DB Connection
        String url = "jdbc:odbc:registrar";
        Connection con;
        Statement stat;
       
        String insert;
        insert = "INSERT INTO courses VALUES ('" + course + "','" + desc + "','" + credits + "');";
       
        try
        {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        }
        catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e)
        {
            System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        }
       
        try
        {
            con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "", "");
            stat = con.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery(insert);
            
            System.out.println("Data successfully added to Courses table.");
           
            stat.close();
            con.close();
        }
           
        catch (SQLException ex)
        {
            System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

The insert query works as intended, however I'm getting "SQLException: General error" from the 2nd catch - what error is it catching?

And here you have dug yourself so deep in the hole that you surely will be unable to escape without help from another.

If you will take note of all of my posts since the original post, not once have I denied that I wanted quick fix, nor did I say that I am doing this in order to learn.



Likewise, you don't fit the criteria for a person I would consider intelligent enough to be able to develop and support an argument. Clearly we both have areas in which we can better ourselves.
