RE: JDBC Driver Help...

INSERT doesn't return any results, so your use of executeQuery() is wrong
here, and an SQLException should be thrown.

You should use executeUpdate() for any SQL statements that don't return a
ResultSet.

PS: If you were writing a shell, so don't know if a ResultSet would be
returned or not, then theres the execute() method, but you have to handle
the results differently, so you should stay away from it.

Subject: [INTERFACES] JDBC Driver Help...

I am attempting to use the following code.... However, I seem to always
get to the SQL EXCEPTION (on the query)...
What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it is simple -- but still it is
frustrating :) I'm not sure if this is related to the use
of the driver or my configuration -- if anything -- a URL with some
FAQ's would help...
The details in the JDBC (postgres) guide are a little slim...

Thanks
