It says I ended this statement wrong when if I input it into sql plus with just the addition of ; it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); statement.executeUpdate("delete from aplbuk MODEL = '"+ textField_4.getText() + "'AND year = '" + textField_1.getText() + "' AND Litres = '" + textField_2.getText() + "' AND ENGINE_TYPE = '" + textField_3.getText() + "'"); statement.close();
