Syntax error in sql statement? - mysql

Question

I am getting a syntax error in the following lines. I am not familiar with mysql so any pointers will be helpfull
ps = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO order(status,ordered_on,total_price,user_id) "
+ " VALUES(?,?,?,?)");
ps.setString(1,"pending");
ps.setTimestamp(2,date);
ps.setDouble(3,total_price);
ps.setInt(4,ID);
The error was
MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'order(status,ordered_on,total_price,user_id) VALUES('pending','2017-03-22 04:08' at line 1

Answer 1

The problemis that order is a reserved keyword for mysql ; so you have two solutions at your disposal
1 : if you are required some raison to use that work in case you case use backtick escapes `order`
2 : you can use plural for the tables name like orders
ps = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO `order`(status,ordered_on,total_price,user_id) "
+ " VALUES(?,?,?,?)");
ps.setString(1,"pending");
ps.setTimestamp(2,date);
ps.setDouble(3,total_price);
ps.setInt(4,ID);
This is q link to the mysal reserved keywords
