Error while returning auto-generated values

Hello,
I'm trying to execute an insert statement against the following table, in which subscriber_id is auto incremented.

subscriber_id |  user_id   | tenant_id | email_address | date_subscribed
---------------+------------+-----------+---------------+-----------------
             1 | admin1234  |     -1234 |               | 1970-01-01
             3 | admin12345 |     -1234 |               | 1970-01-01

Table was created using the following statement:

CREATE TABLE AM_SUBSCRIBER2 (
    SUBSCRIBER_ID INTEGER DEFAULT nextval('am_subscriber_sequence'),
    USER_ID VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    TENANT_ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
    EMAIL_ADDRESS VARCHAR(256) NULL,
    DATE_SUBSCRIBED DATE NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (SUBSCRIBER_ID),
    UNIQUE (TENANT_ID,USER_ID));

The insert query gets executed through a PreparedStatement, which returns the assigned subscriber_id for the newly inserted row.

String query = "INSERT" +
                " INTO AM_SUBSCRIBER (USER_ID, TENANT_ID, EMAIL_ADDRESS, DATE_SUBSCRIBED)" +
                " VALUES (?,?,?,?)";
        PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(query, new String[] {"SUBSCRIBER_ID"});
        ps.setString(1, "admin1");
        ps.setInt(2, -1234);
        ps.setString(3, "");
        ps.setTimestamp(4, new Timestamp(0));
        ps.executeUpdate();

When executing the above cord segment I'm getting an SQLException saying that the "SUBSCRIBER_ID" doesn't exist.

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: column "SUBSCRIBER_ID" does not exist

Simply by changing the case of SUBSCRIBER_ID to lower case, in return column array ,this error can be avoided. But the problem is that change is not feasible.
This problem occurred when trying to use a Postgre db where initially it had been using a MySql db.

Is it possible to solve this problem by changing the DDL statement or any connection parameters?
