Java MySQLSyntaxErrorException? Why is my SELECT statement incorrect?












1














This is my code for a web application that connects to a mySQL database. It is supposed to display the entire contents of one table in the database using a drop down menu on another page. I have another .jsp that does basically the same thing with a different SQL statement that performs a search operation, that works as it is supposed to. I figured that if anything I would have a problem with procedural generation of the output html tables, but I am getting a com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException exception for the mySQL statement syntax.

However, I am receiving these error messages and I am not sure what is wrong with my SQL syntax here.

    Don't think you can have ? as tablename. ? is only for value of column parameters in query. So you should write your query as select * from tablename

This is my code for a web application that connects to a mySQL database. It is supposed to display the entire contents of one table in the database using a drop down menu on another page. I have another .jsp that does basically the same thing with a different SQL statement that performs a search operation, that works as it is supposed to. I figured that if anything I would have a problem with procedural generation of the output html tables, but I am getting a com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException exception for the mySQL statement syntax.

However, I am receiving these error messages and I am not sure what is wrong with my SQL syntax here.

    Don't think you can have ? as tablename. ? is only for value of column parameters in query. So you should write your query as select * from tablename

using



"SELECT * FROM ?" 


for dynamically adding table name will lede to query being



SELECT * FROM 'TABLE_NAME'


instead append table name dynamically by just contacting the string like this:



"SELECT * FROM "+tableName


where tableName will be a variable of type string.
