You shouldn't quote the ? for the string. By calling the setString()
method, it will add the quotes for you. So I guess what is happening is
that the preparedstatement parser ignores quoted question marks and just
finds 1 variable, when you call setstring on 1 it sets the number= part,
and then when you call setInt(2) you are getting the index out of range.
The proper qstring should be:
"UPDATE foo SET message = ? WHERE number = ?"
Cheers,
