Using this code how could I make it faster? If I used UPDATE instead would it make it faster? If it would please show me how to do that with the code I provided. I'm not very good with SQL, again just helping out a friend.
Some ways to improve this:
Use UPDATE statement and use the value of the primary key in the WHERE clause. This is in case you know the id. If you don't know it, then
Use UPDATE statement properly. Add a proper index on the columns you will use for the WHERE clause, in case is a single column and it's not the primary key and this statement may be executed several times.
Update the relevant columns, not all the columns (unless you are updating all the values for that row, which is something odd but not impossible).
Since you want/need to update everything or nothing, then you should use a transaction. You can start a transaction by using Connection#setAutoCommit(false); and close it by using Connection#commit. In case of errors, use Connection#rollback() and none of the operations will affect the database.
Stop using Statement so naively. If your queries need to be parameterized, then use PreparedStatement instead.
In your database, do this:
ALTER TABLE skills ADD INDEX idx_playerName (playerName);
Here's part of your Java code updated using the statements above:
public boolean saveHighScore(Client c) throws SQLException {

The biggest cost in either your DELETE / INSERT approach or an UPDATE approach is probably your WHERE clause.
Doing the UPDATE or DELETE with a WHERE pointing at playerName = 'FriendlyNameOfPlayer' is brutal. You could make it a little better if you created an index on that field.
You'd create the index with something along the lines of...
CREATE INDEX playerName_ix ON skills (playerName)
CREATE INDEX playerName_ix ON skillsoverall (playerName)
Read more on some additional options that may be relevant on a case by case basis here.
A better practice would be to target the rows by their PK (maybe an auto-incrementing integer?). Ideally, the schema behind this would be a table called Player_Master with an autoincrementing integer as the PK, then the friendly name of the player stored in another column. Tables like those referenced in your code snippit should be storing the PK values from Player_Master (instead of the friendly name), which would be FK's. Your DELETE statement would instead look like...
DELETE FROM `skills` WHERE skills.playerID = 37
Redoing the schema would be the "correct" way to do it, but I get that every project may not have the time or resources required for a total teardown / redo. If your buddy is saying "can you make this faster?", you could do the index and walk away. If the question were "how do I do this right?", I'd start the clock on billable hours, because from the small glimpse into the code and schema provided, it's not a quick fix.
I'll also wristslap you for calling raw executes of cobbled together TSQL statements. There are better ways to do this.
I have a java web application that I removed a function from the code and yet the database entries that this function writes are still being written to the database.
Inside the IssueWarrant function there is a call to insertWarrantFee that has been commented out.
private void issueWarrant(String CasePrefix, String CaseNumber, String HearingType, String Suspend)
{
int i = 0, intDivision = 0, pos = 0;
String SummSeq = getSummSeq(CasePrefix, CaseNumber);
String Charges = getCharges(CasePrefix, CaseNumber, HearingType);
boolean isVacated = false, isHearingFound = false;
NextBWNumber warrNbr = new NextBWNumber();
String WarrantNumber = warrNbr.getNextBWNumber();
String warrStatus = warrNbr.getNextBWNStatus();
String HearingDesc = "", Division = "";
isVacated = getVacatedStatus(CasePrefix, CaseNumber, HearingType);
isHearingFound = getHearingStatus (CasePrefix, CaseNumber, HearingType);
HearingDesc = getFormatToday() + " " + getHearingDesc(HearingType);
if (HearingDesc.length() > 30)
{
HearingDesc = HearingDesc.substring(0,30);
}
Division = getHearingJudge(CasePrefix,CaseNumber,HearingType);
intDivision = Integer.parseInt(Division);
if (intDivision < 10)
{ Division = "0" + Division; }
Statement localstmt = null;
String localqueryString;
localqueryString = "INSERT INTO " + library7 + "CMPBWPND" +

try
{
if (!isVacated && isHearingFound)
{
localstmt = conn.createStatement();
localstmt.executeUpdate(localqueryString);
localstmt.close();
StatusMsg = "Client No Show-WI";
}
if (isVacated)
{
StatusMsg = "Client Vacated Case";
}
if (!isHearingFound)
{
StatusMsg = "Client Hearing Missing";
}
} catch (SQLException e)
{
System.out.println("IssueWarr - Error in IssueWarrant");
e.printStackTrace();
ReturnInfo = "Issuing Warrants Failed.";
success = false;
}finally
{
try
{
if (!localstmt.isClosed())
{
localstmt.close();
}
} catch (SQLException sql2)
{
System.out.println("Error trying to close connections. Exception: " + sql2.getMessage());
}
}
**//insertWarrantFee(CasePrefix, CaseNumber, SummSeq, WarrantNumber);**
updateHearingRecord(CasePrefix, CaseNumber, HearingType, Charges.substring(i, i + 1), Suspend);
for ( i = 1; i < Charges.length(); i++ )
{
insertBWPTFRecord(CasePrefix, CaseNumber, SummSeq, Charges.substring(i, i + 1));
}
if (!success)
{
StatusMsg = "Client Iss. Warrant Failure";
}
}
Here is the code that the insertWarrantFee called before it was commented out:
private void insertWarrantFee(String CasePrefix, String CaseNumber, String SummSeq, String WarrantNumber)
{
Statement localstmt = null;
String localqueryString;
ResultSet localrSet = null;
String feeAmt = null;
localqueryString = "SELECT AUTO$$ FROM " + library3 + "CMPDKTTP WHERE DKTTYP = 'W'";
try
{
localstmt = conn.createStatement();
localrSet = localstmt.executeQuery(localqueryString);
while (localrSet.next())
{
feeAmt = localrSet.getString("AUTO$$");
}
localstmt.close();
localrSet.close();
} catch (SQLException e)
{
System.out.println("IssueWarr - Error in Insert Warrant Fee SQL1");
e.printStackTrace();
ReturnInfo = "Issuing Warrants Failed.";
success = false;
}finally
{
try
{
if (!localstmt.isClosed())
{
localstmt.close();
}
} catch (SQLException sql2)
{
System.out.println("Error trying to close connections. Exception: " + sql2.getMessage());
}
}
localqueryString = "INSERT INTO " + library7 + "CMPBWTRN"
+ " (CASPRE, CASNUM, DEFSEQ, SUMSEQ, BWNBR, FEEAMT, DKTTYP, TUSER, LUPDAT)"
+ " VALUES ('" + CasePrefix + "', " + CaseNumber + ", 1, " + SummSeq + ", '" + WarrantNumber
+ "', " + feeAmt + ", 'W', 'TAAD', " + getShortDate() + ")";
try
{
localstmt = conn.createStatement();
localstmt.executeUpdate(localqueryString);
localstmt.close();
} catch (SQLException e)
{
System.out.println("IssueWarr - Insert Warrant Fee SQL2");
e.printStackTrace();
ReturnInfo = "Issuing Warrants Failed.";
success = false;
}finally
{
try
{
if (!localstmt.isClosed())
{
localstmt.close();
}
} catch (SQLException sql2)
{
System.out.println("Error trying to close connections. Exception: " + sql2.getMessage());
}
}
}
So even though the line that called insertWarrantFee is commented out a record is still being inserted into CMPBWTRN.
Any ideas how this could happen? The developer is indicating it could be a tomcat connection cache issue? Any other suggestion beside magical code?
Thanks!

A couple of things to try:
Make sure you've redeployed the application and have restarted Tomcat. Check the timestamp of the deployed class in question.
Clean Tomcat's tmp and work directories
Open the deployed Java class using a decompiler to see whether the removed code is still in there.
Add a logging (or System.out.println) statement to the method that's commented out, and to the method calling it. See whether one or both are printed after redeploying the changes.
