executeUpdate(String, String[]) is a JDBC3 method, but you are evidently 
using a JDBC2 driver.  When you use a JDBC3 driver you will get a 
SQLException reporting that this method is not implemented if you
supply anything other than an array of zero length.  Actually this should 
probably also allow a null array as now it will throw a NPE when it 
shouldn't.
