From: James Doucette Date: July 21 1999 5:18pm Subject: connection problems.... List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/java/221 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I've been working with java in conjunction with a mysql database to produce a variety of company applications. We have recenlty moved the mysql database to a different machine and therefore I have been moving code over and setting up the necessary access privileges to the mysql database.... Even though I conquered this problem on my own before (on the old machine), I don't have the time and patience to muddle around again... this is why I'm looking for some general suggestions. My code is correct because it worked on the old machine and the mysql database installed on the new machine is the same version... so here is my error message: java.sql.SQLException: Error during query: Syntax error or access violation: parse error near ';' at line 1 the stack trace is: java.sql.SQLException: Error during query: Syntax error or access violation: parse error near ';' at line 1 java.lang.NullPointerException at employeeupdate.populatelist(employeeupdate.java:703) at employeeupdate.init(employeeupdate.java:663) at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:287) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:474) any ideas....
