I am using a java [sic] program to read lines from csv and insert them into mysql database.
Whenever i [sic] run my program i discovered i could not insert values into a date field insert
mysql [sic] if the value comming from the file is null. However if i change the field to a varchar,
it works fine. I want to maintain the field as a date field. Below is the snippet of my code.

     queryString = "INSERT INTO account (MNE,DATE1,DATE2,LINK)
               values('"+data[0]+"','"+data[1]+"','"+data[2]+"','"+data[3]+"')";


This is a dangerous way to inject SQL values. Any mistake in the 'data[n]' values will
screw up the SQL, or worse, open a security hole.

      stmt=conn.createStatement();
       val = stmt.executeUpdate(queryString);

and below is the line to be written

TEE,29-11-12,,90681
BBB,29-11-12,,90681
CCC,29-11-12,,90681

below is the error message (i think it comes because the value for DATE2 is null).


It is not NULL, which is a SQL keyword. Be precise.

Issue the equivalent SQL command through the command line. You will find that it fails
the same way.

A 'PreparedStatement' will serve you better, but meanwhile make sure that you put the
correct syntax into your SQL statement. I'm betting that '' is not a valid DATE value.
