sql syntaxt that runs correctly in MySQL workbench return syntax error in Java as prepared statement

Question

I'm using the following method to run a prepared sql statement in java, but it give me an syntax error message:

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'update temp_test inner join ups_bill on temp_test.tracking_number=ups_bill.tra' at line 6

can some one point out what might be wrong please? Very much appreciated!

Here the code for the method:

private void updateTemp(){

try{

String sql="insert into temp_test (tracking_number, account_number, service, to_name, to_address, to_city, to_state, to_zip, to_zone, invoice_number, invoice_date, ship_date, account_code,entry_type_1,entry_type_2) \n" +

                    "and not exists (select * from temp_test where temp_test.tracking_number=trackingnumber1 and temp_test.invoice_date=invoicedate);\n" +

With JDBC you can only execute a single statement (unless you specify the (MySQL specific) connection property that enables support for executing multiple statements in one execute (which is technically not allowed by JDBC). — Mark Rotteveel

Statement interface (and its subinterface PreparedStatement) allows the execution of a single query per statement. Your query contains several statements, so it cannot be executed. You must prepare separate statements and execute them.

If you want an all-or-nothing behavior, you can start a transaction with the connection and execute commit when all these are executed, and rollback when you have an exception.

Here's a skeleton of how the code may look like:

try {
    //you state that the transaction needs a commit statement
    conn.setAutoCommit(false);
    //perform your DML statements
    //...
    //explicitly state you're committing the transaction
    conn.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
    //rollback the transaction
    conn.rollback();
    //handle the exception...
    //Note: always retrieve the stacktrace
    //it would be better to use a log or another way to archive it
    //this is a pretty basic example
    e.printStacktrace(),
}

You can´t issue two separate sql statements separated by ';' in the same call to executeUpdate.

In this case an insert and then an update.
