I have a MySQL table of type InnoDB and try to make updates via JDBC
(mysql-connector-java-3.0.14-production-bin.jar). If the update can be
executed everything is ok. But if my SQL syntax is wrong, or referential
integrity is violated etc. then executedUpdate() does not throw an
SQLException but a null pointer exception. Does anyone know why?
