Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,userName,password);
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(insertQuery);
preparedStatement.executeQuery();

Issue:

You get SQLException when you try to call executeQuery() on PreparedStatement Object if it does not return a result set, for example, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE queries.

Solution:

Replace preparedStatement.executeQuery(); with preparedStatement.execute();
