How to change values of Microsoft Access database from java?

I am trying to make an app that changes certain values of an MS-Access database. I am not trying to add new lines or anything. My problem is that I get a net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessSQLException: UCAExc:::5.0.0-SNAPSHOT attempt to assign to non-updatable column error. The current code I'm using is
try {
sql = "SELECT * FROM MtnRoads";
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://C://Users//anyGenericProgrammer//Documents//Database1.accdb");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery(sql);
result.updateString(aNumber, aString);
} catch (Exception e) {
errCode.setText(e.toString());
System.out.println(e);
}`
I have looked at this StackOverflow question to figure out how to even update the lines in the first place, however the example that is used in extremely confusing. Is there any way to make this work without throwing errors? (I am using javax.swing.JFrame library, errCode is a JLable.)

SQL delete query in java app takes too long

I'm starting with SQL and trying to mix it with Java app. I have table ZAMESTNANEC containing 6 rows.
When I issue the command delete from ZAMESTNANEC where ID = 7; in SQL it will delete in no time. A few milliseconds. But when I use this in my Java app, the app will freeze in processing. I waited for 4 minutes and nothing happened (and due to its working state I can't do anything else). Oh and the row wasn't deleted.
I read this topic about deleting but it didn't help me much. In fact it didn't help me at all.
oracle delete query taking too much time
I tried to debug it but it's frozen on this command. I don't understand why in SQL it works fine and in Java app it doesn't. Other commands like SELECT works fine.
JDBC here - http://pastebin.com/BRh06yc8
Code from button here
private void jButtonOdeberZamActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
try{
OracleConnector.setUpConnection("xxxxxxxx", 1521, "ee11",
"NAME", "PASSWORD");
conn = OracleConnector.getConnection();
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeQuery("delete from ZAMESTNANEC where ID = 7");
} catch(SQLException ex){
System.out.println(ex);
}

executeQuery should be used for queries that are expected to return results. Try executeUpdate instead and see if that helps. It could be that your app is waiting to receive results which never come back. By Tom H
Thank you Tom.

Java Statement.executeUpdate(sql) not working when executeQuery(sql) works

I have a wierd behavior in a Java application.
It issues simple queries and modifications to a remote MySQL database. I found that queries, run by executeQuery() work just fine, but inserts or delete to the database run through executeUpdate() will fail.
Ruling out the first thing that comes to mind: the user the app connects with has correct privilledges set up, as the same INSERT run from the same machine, but in DBeaver, will produce the desired modification.
Some code:
Connection creation
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, pass);
Problematic part:
Statement parentIdStatement = connection.createStatement();
String parentQuery = String.format(ProcessDAO.GET_PARENT_ID, parentName);
if (DEBUG_SQL) {
plugin.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, parentQuery);
}
ResultSet result = parentIdStatement.executeQuery(parentQuery);
result.first();
parentId = result.getInt(1);
if (DEBUG_SQL) {
plugin.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, parentId.toString()); // works, expected value
}
Statement createContainerStatement = connection.createStatement();
String containerQuery = String.format(ContainerDAO.CREATE_CONTAINER, parentId, myName);
if (DEBUG_SQL) {
plugin.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, containerQuery); // works when issued through DBeaver
}
createContainerStatement.executeUpdate(containerQuery); // does nothing
"DAOs":
ProcessDAO.GET_PARENT_ID = "SELECT id FROM mon_process WHERE proc_name = '%1$s'";
ContainerDAO.CREATE_CONTAINER = "INSERT INTO mon_container (cont_name, proc_id, cont_expiry, cont_size) VALUES ('%2$s', %1$d, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), NULL)";
I suspect this might have to do with my usage of Statement and Connection.
This being a lightweight lightly-used app, I went to simplicity, so no framework, and no specific isntructions regarding transactions or commits.

So, in the end, this code was just fine. It worked today.
To answer the question: where to look first in a similar case (SELECT works but UPDATE / INSERT / DELETE does not)
If rights are not the problem, then there is probably a lock on the table you try to modify. In my case, someone left with an uncommited transaction open.
Proper SQL exceptions logging (which was suboptimal in my case) will help you figure it out.

infinite loop "hangs" after some iterations in java code during mysql query

I have a long piece of code in java which uses selenium webdriver and firefox to test my website. Pardon me if I can't reproduce it here. It has an infinite while loop to keep doing its function repeatedly. Thats what its supposed to do. Also, I don't use multi threading.
Sometimes, it gets stuck. I use a windows system and the code runs on command prompt. When it gets stuck, no errors or exceptions are thrown. Its something like "it hangs" (only the window in which the code runs hangs). Then I have to use CTRL + C . Sometimes it resumes working after that, other times it gets terminated and I restart it. It works fine but after some loops it "hangs" again. Also, I've noticed that its usually during the execution of one of the methods querying mysql database.
The code runs an infinite loop. Each time, it queries the mysql database, fetches a value(whose 'status' field is not 'done') from a particular table (one value in each loop) and proceeds with testing with this value.At the end of the loop, the table is updated (the column 'status' is set to 'done' for that value). When there are no new values having 'status' not equal to 'done' in that particular table, it should ideally display "NO NEW VALUE". However, after all the values have been used, it simply takes up the last used value (even though its status is updated to 'done' at the end of previous loop) and goes ahead. I then have to terminate the execution and run the code again. This time when the infinite loop begins, it queries the database and correctly displays "NO NEW VALUE", queries again, displays the message again and so on(which is what it should do)
I close the sql connection using con.close().
It appears that after running the loop for a few times, some resource is getting exhausted somewhere. But this is only a wild guess.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is and how do I fix it ?
Below is a relevant piece of code :
try{
String sql = "select something from somewhere where id = ? and is_deleted = '0';";
System.out.println("\n"+sql + "\n? = " + pID);
PreparedStatement selQuery1 = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
selQuery1.setString(1, pID);
ResultSet rs1 = selQuery1.executeQuery();
//Extract data from result set
while(rs1.next() && i1<6){
//do something
}//end while loop
String sql2 = "select something2 from somewhere2 where id = ? and is_deleted = '0';";
System.out.println("\n"+sql2 + "\n? = " + pjID);
PreparedStatement selQuery2 = conn.prepareStatement(sql2);
selQuery2.setString(1, pjID);
ResultSet rs2 = selQuery2.executeQuery();
//Extract data from result set
while(rs2.next() && i1<6){
//do something
}//end while loop
System.out.println("\nDone.");
conn.close();
}catch (SQLException e) {
flag=false;
}
Please note that no exceptions are thrown anywhere. The window in which the code is running just freezes (that too once in while) after displaying both the query statements.

I forgot to close the query and the resultset. Just closing the connection should implicitly close the query and resultset but it doesn't work always.

I also faced the same problem recently. But in my case the issue was with indexes. I am just pointing out here so that it can be helpful to other folks.
In my case I am fetching the menu items from MenuMaster table from database. So after successfully log in, I am hitting a database to fetch the menu items using MySQL connector driver. Here I need to fetch parent menu with their child menus. In my query, in where clause I have not used any primary key or Unique key. So, it was taking a long time. So just make an index of that key, and it worked as charm...

SQLite 'Database Locked' weird error for specific queries

I'm working on a project in Java, where, I have to make modifications in my SQLite Database.
I connected to it and is working pretty fine, except for this weird error.
s.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO STUDENTS VALUES('S0',11)");
...
//many statements... including queries
...
String c2="INSERT INTO STUDENTS VALUES ('S1', 2)";
s.executeUpdate(c2);
s.executeUpdate("DROP TABLE STUDENTS");
The statements s.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO STUDENTS VALUES('S0',11)"); and s.executeUpdate(c2); run perfectly and insert rows into the database. But when it comes to the statement below, I'm getting the weird Database Locked error.
When I changed the query to another, it also worked pretty fine. The error comes when it reaches the ending statement. More precisely, all the queries written above, i.e., the first statement of the code here work pretty fine.
Please help me to find the bug.

I guess that the "s" variable is a Statement. Try closing the resources after you execute:
PreparedStatement updateStatement = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO STUDENTS VALUES ('S1', 2)");
try {
updateStatement.executeUpdate();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
updateStatement.close();
}
Do this after every call to the database.
