RE: JDBC problem with DELETE

Does this happen when you run the sql from psql?

How about using PreparedStatement instead of Statement? It would then handle
the quoting correctly (which is what I'm thinking is going wrong here).

Subject: [INTERFACES] JDBC problem with DELETE


The following piece of code:
  stmt.executeUpdate("delete from friend where name='"+someName+"'");

is returning:
  SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: ERROR: Attribute 'John Doe' not
found

where someName is "John Doe".

Any ideas?  The row where name='John Doe' is definitely in the table and I
can execute the statement without problems from psql.

Thanks in advance for your help.
