Answer 1

On line :

PreparedStatement ps =(PreparedStatement) connection.prepareStatement(sql + whereClause);

Are you sure PreparedStatement is java.sql.PreparedStatement ?

Not sure why you need to cast the object returned from connection.prepareStatement() . This method returns an object of type java.sql.PreparedStatement . Please check your import statement if you are correctly importing the classes.
