This is my really simple mysql query in jsp file. I want to insert values into table member(id, password, name) but it keeps throwing an exception and print "not inserted!".

Does anyone know what cause an exception? I tried to figure it out from yesterday noon but still I don't know the reason.

Please help!

Here is my stack trace!

Database connected
java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery().
insert into member('userid','password','name') values('jhlee127','108512012','JayZ');
not inserted!

you should print e rather than 'not inserted', might shed more light on the error. Show us the schema of member too, does the ID column accept a string? — OGHaza, Nov 22 '13 at 20:19
Sometimes it helps to actually read error messages before posting them on StackExchange. I think _Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery()_ sounds pretty self-explanatory. — mustaccio, Nov 22 '13 at 20:26
Just as a note: Please never, *ever* handle exceptions like this. For fatal exceptions like this, just let them bubble up, and optionally catch them higher up to print a proper error message. *Never* just catch and continue like this. — sleske, Nov 22 '13 at 20:31
@sleske Thanks for an advise! But what do you mean by "just let them bubble up, and optionally catch them higher up to print a proper error message." Thanks! — jkl, Nov 23 '13 at 15:44
@prographer: I meant that you should not catch the exception; then it will bubble up automatically. You may or may not want to have a generic exception handler higher up, like in your `main()` function. — sleske, Nov 23 '13 at 17:53

Instead of:

stmt.executeQuery(queryAccount);

use:

stmt.executeUpdate(queryAccount);

My Java is very rusty, but isn't there some kind of executeUpdate() method that ought to be used here, instead of executeQuery()?

PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("insert into member (testID, password, name) values (?, ?, ?)");
ps.setInt(1, idValue);
ps.setString(2, passwordValue);
ps.setString(3, nameValue);
try {
    ps.executeUpdate();
    ps.close();
}

Try this and let me know if it's fixed.

You need to call statement.executeUpdate instead of statement.executeQuery
