modify data in columns in SQL Server

I am trying to make a website written in C# in Visual Studio 2010. I got a database in .accdb extention.

So I go a table in the database called usertb, and in the table username is the key, and the data password and DOB in columns.

Now I need to make a function to edit a user profile, which lets the user to enter a new password and Date of Birth. After that, it will save to the database.

I don't know why the code seems to be not working. I tried to use

UPDATE ... SET ...WHERE ..

function but I don't know why it doesn't allow me to do that (is that because my code is written in C# but not PHP?)

Here is开发者_开发百科 the code for edit user profile: (srpassword is the name of the password column, password is the new one user typed in)

public static bool EditUserInfo(string username, string password)
{
    string query = "SELECT REPLACE([srpassword], [srpassword], 'password')
                    FROM usertb WHERE srusername = '" + username + "'";
    accessDB dbaccess = new accessDB();
    return dbaccess.saveData(query);
}

Hope somebody can help me

The syntax select replace is from MySQL, in SQL Server the update statements goes like this

Also I'm no sure about that accessDB dbaccess = new accessDB();, has the connection etc.

Also instead of combining statement you should use parameters, then your statement should look like this.

UPDATE usertb SET srpassowr = @password WHERE srusername = @userName;

As you have some class responsible for connection to db this example show how usually sql statemetns should be executed.

Did you try "UPDATE usertb SET [srpassword] = '" + password + "' WHERE [srusername] = '" + username + "'?

I'm not going in details why Access is a bad choice, if you're using it only for prototyping it should be OK though.
