DELETE FROM where ID = 'user inserted text'?

Question

I want to delete MySQL rows where id = user inserted text into jTextField in Java. I know I need to use something like txtGebruikersID.getText(); but not sure how to combine them correctly so that when someone inserts like 25 in JTextField (txtGebruikersID) that value of 25 goes where the 25 is in:

query = "delete from gebruiker where gebruiker_ID = 25";

Code I use in QueryManager.java:

public void removeGebruiker() {
        String query;
        query = "delete from gebruiker where gebruiker_ID = 25";
        dbmanager.insertQuery(query);
    }

JTextField is called txtGebruikersID

And code I use in userPanel.java:

private void removeUserActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

        WinkelApplication.getInstance().getQueryManager().removeGebruiker();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Gebruiker is verwijderd", "Gebruiker", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    }

Answer 1

You should do something like this. This is more preferred way on working with sqls

query = "delete from gebruiker where gebruiker_ID = ?";
PreparedStatement st = con.prepareStatement(query); // con is active connection
st.setInt(1,Integer.parseInt(txtGebruikersID.getText()));

What is SQL Injection"

Answer 2

Edit the function to something like this:

public void removeGebruiker(String gebruiker_id) {
    //Some checks here perhaps
    String query;
    query = "delete from gebruiker where gebruiker_ID = " + gebruiker_id;
    dbmanager.insertQuery(query);
}

Assuming you have a panel,

WinkelApplication.getInstance().getQueryManager().removeGebruiker(TEXTFIELDNAMEHERE.getText());

If the user puts 12 into the textfield the resulting query will be:

delete from gebruiker where gebruiker_ID = 12

Nevertheless there are better ways to do this. Prepared statements are indeed better. If you do use this method make sure to check the input from the user.
