Getting Parse Error at or near and at character......

[urmyfriend]

Hi,

I am getting the parse error while i try to execute a simple sql query in postgres.

java.sql.SQLExc eption: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "and" at character 58

The Query has been changed and it is very much like the below one

select * from emp where empName like 'XXXXX' and empId=206

when I try to execute the same query in the postgresql console it is working fine but when i try to execute the same as a prepared statement from my java code it is giving the java.sql.SQLExc eption like the above.

Do Anyone have the answer for this problem????????

Expecting a Quick response.

I suspect the problem could be with parsing of the 'XXXXX' value, maybe it's related to escaping of the single-quotes.

If you post the entire section of your code that deals with assembling and executing this query, it may help.

Hi michaelb,
Here is my code:
String getEmpId=SQLQue riesHandler.get Query("eis.toGe tEmpId");
psmt=conn.prepa reStatement(get EmpId);
psmt.setString( 1,empForm.getEm pName());
psmt.setInt(2,e mpForm.getDeptI d());
System.out.prin tln("The Query to empId with Parameters is : "+psmt.toString ());
rs=psmt.execute Query(getEmpId) ;

where the query will be like

select empId from empTab where empName like 'XXXXXXX' and deptId=13

And in the above code empForm is the Struts ActionForm object and getters are the form beans.
If i try to execute that as a statement it is executing well.
and also if i try to execute that query as a pprepare statement in the code itself it is executing well.
The only problem is when i try to get the query from the properties file eg:query.proper ties

The variable names are changed keeping the code as it is.

Thanks in Advance.
