syntax error exception while updating a record in mysql

I am using MySQL database

my PreparedStatement is 

com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement@e38b00: UPDATE  tbluser SET (USERID='101',FIRSTNAME='vikram',LASTNAME='sekhar',EMAIL ='r@m') where RECORDID=1

                     pst.executeUpdate();

when I try to update the record using executeUpdate() it throws the following syntax error exception. The table in database contains the record with a unique record id RECORDID=1.

com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: 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 '(USERID='101',FIRSTNAME='vikram',LASTNAME='sekhar',EMAIL ='r@m') where RECORDID=' at line 1

The parentheses are invalid in an UPDATE statement. Change your statement to :

UPDATE  tbluser 
SET     USERID='101',
        FIRSTNAME='vikram',
        LASTNAME='sekhar',
        EMAIL ='r@m' 
WHERE   RECORDID=1

Here's the syntax for UPDATE statements :

UPDATE [LOW_PRIORITY] [IGNORE] table_reference
    SET col_name1={expr1|DEFAULT} [, col_name2={expr2|DEFAULT}] ...
    [WHERE where_condition]
    [ORDER BY ...]
    [LIMIT row_count]

As you can see, there are no parentheses.

An update statement doesn't have brackets around the field list:

UPDATE tbluser 
SET    USERID='101',FIRSTNAME='vikram',LASTNAME='sekhar',EMAIL ='r@m'
WHERE  RECORDID=1
