Q:

Unable to update the table where pimary key is located

Please have a look the following code
public String setEmailAccount(String account,String userName, String password) 
    {
        createConnection();
        String result = "";

        try
        {
            //This part will set the new account
            con.setAutoCommit(false);
            PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into Emails values (?,?,?)");
            ps.setString(1,account);
            ps.setString(2, userName);
            ps.setString(3, password);

            int resultInt = ps.executeUpdate();
            con.commit();
            if(resultInt>0)
            {
                result = "Account Created Successfully";
            }
            else

        catch(SQLException sql)
        {
            result = sql.getMessage();
            sql.printStackTrace();

This is an email configuration program. This method is used to configure email accounts. Users enter email account type (yahoo.gmail), password and user name. This allows only one email account to be configured, to one type of email account (ex: Only one 'yahoo' email account can exists, only one 'gmail' account can exists)
Here, if the data is already there(which means, the there is already an account for a particular account type), the program will update it rather than directly inserting data. If no data, program will enter data.
This program works fine with MSSQL Server. When the SQL server throws Violation of PRIMARY KEY exception, program starts updating the currect data.
However, this is not working with Derby. I am using Derby embedded version. I a, getting the following error, when there is already data, and it is not updating any.
java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: The statement was aborted because it would have caused a duplicate key value in a unique or primary key constraint or unique index identified by 'PK_USER' defined on 'EMAILS'.

Following is the SQL table
create table Emails
(
accountType varchar(10) constraint pk_user primary key,
userName varchar(50) ,
passwords varchar(50)
)

Please help me to update the data when the data are already there.

A:

You are searching for a string using this syntax
if(sql.getMessage().contains("Violation of PRIMARY KEY") || sql.getMessage().contains("SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException"))

while derby returns this string
The statement was aborted because it would have caused a duplicate key value in a unique or primary key constraint or unique index identified by 'PK_USER' defined on 'EMAILS'.

Thats why your if statement does not execute
