Sqliteexception while updating timestamp?

Question

I have this code:

      String sql="UPDATE  LAST_OPEN  SET  LAST_OPEN="+DATE+"  WHERE  STUDENT_ID ="+STUDENT_ID+"    AND   ITEM_ID="+ITEM_ID+" AND   ITEM_NAME="+ITEM_TYPE+";";

db.execSQL(sql);

Where LAST_OPEN field is timestamp.I tried to run the same query in SQlite Browser it was working fine.But when this Sql is executed in app it shows this:

       02-13 13:12:39.468: E/AndroidRuntime(2366): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

Try with this sql statement :

String sql="UPDATE LAST_OPEN SET LAST_OPEN='"+DATE+"' WHERE STUDENT_ID ="+STUDENT_ID+" AND ITEM_ID="+ITEM_ID+" AND ITEM_NAME="+ITEM_TYPE+";";

as I know, when you are using any string data in sql statement you need to add '' in the beginning of the variable and at the end of it.

Try to change

LAST_OPEN=2012-02-13 13:12:39

with

LAST_OPEN = "2012-02-13 13:12:39"

The space between the numbers can be the problem. Hope this helps.
