updating a field to a php database with prepared stament

I'm trying to update a field in an existing entry of a table, but I get the following error message:

Syntax error or access violation, message from server: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Update = 'update' WHERE User_Name = 'test'' at line 1"

I'm sure the syntax is right for the prepared statements.

setupdate = connection.prepareStatement("UPDATE userdetails SET Update = ? WHERE User_Name = ?");

...

setupdate.setString(1, "friendRequest "+jsonRequest.getString("toadd").toString());
setupdate.setString(2, jsonRequest.getString("user").toString());
System.out.println("executing update");
setupdate.executeUpdate();

...

    setupdate = connection.prepareStatement("UPDATE userdetails SET `Update` = ? WHERE User_Name = ?");

instead of

    setupdate = connection.prepareStatement("UPDATE userdetails SET Update = ? WHERE User_Name = ?");

Update is a keyword so you need to escape it

UPDATE userdetails SET `Update` = ? WHERE User_Name = ?"
