Java program will read from database, but not write to it
- by ck1221
I have a Java program that successfully connects to a mysql database that is hosted on godaddy's server. I can read from that db with out issue, however, when I try to write to it with INSERT or UPDATE for example, the query does not execute. I am using the 'admin' account that I set up through godaddy, I realize this is not the root account. I have checked and verified that the connection is not read only, and have logged out of phpmyadmin while the query ran. I'm not sure what else I can try or if anyone has experienced this issue.
Maybe a setting to the connection I have failed to set? Or maybe its not possible since the db is hosted on godaddy's servers?
Any help is great! 
Thanks.
Here is some relevant code:
Connection to db:
Connection con;
public DBconnection(String url, String user, String pass)
{
        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            con = DriverManager.getConnection (url,user,pass);
            if(!con.isClosed())
                System.out.println("connecton open");
        } 
        catch (InstantiationException e) {e.printStackTrace();} 
        catch (IllegalAccessException e) {e.printStackTrace();} 
        catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {e.printStackTrace();} 
        catch (SQLException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}
Send Query:
public ResultSet executeQuery(String query)
{
    ResultSet rs = null;
    try {
        Statement stmt = (Statement) con.createStatement();
        rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
        //while(rs.next())
            //System.out.println(rs.getString("ticket_num"));
    } 
    catch (SQLException e) {}   
    return rs;
}
Insert Query (works in phpmyadmin):
conn.executeQuery("INSERT INTO tickets VALUES(55555,'12/01/2012','me','reports','test','','','0','Nope')");
