[jacky_cheng]

I m a freshman about JSP.Now I have a quesstion about sql.
first I made a class.Code is

public class DataBase {
	protected String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/lab?user=root&password=root&"
			+ "useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8";

	public Connection conn = null;
	public DataBase() {
		try {
			Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
		} catch (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		}
		try {
			conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
		} catch (SQLException ex) {
			System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
		}
	}
then anothe class code is 
public void addUser(String userName, String userPasswd, int userPower) {
		userCheck=1;
		sql="insert into user(userPasswd,userPower,userName,userCheck)values(?,?,?,?)";
		pstm=dataBase.conn.prepareStatement(""); <-here is a err it is 
Type mismatch: cannot convert from PreparedStatement to PreparedStatement.
I do not know why?
	}

You have problem with yours prepareStatement.
Have look at this tutorial it will explain it to you. After that if you still have problems just post bellow.

Hi peter_budo,

I have the exact same problem as jacky_cheng; I have followed the tutorial to no avail. I am using Eclipse, and it is highlighting my prepared statement declaration stating "Type mismatch: cannot convert from PreparedStatement to PreparedStatement". This makes no sense to me. What is trying to be converted?

Here is the relevant code:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbConnectString, dbUser, dbPass);
      
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ?");

Thanks for any help you may provide.

I figured it out I believe. Apparently, Eclipse added

import com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement;

for me, even though I already had

import java.sql.*;

I am not sure why this happened, but wanted to update this post for anyone else out there using Eclipse that has a similar problem.

If someone feels like explaining this to me, please do. I am still very much a novice and would love to learn more about this (pointing me to docs is ok too).

Thanks.
