Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Hi,
I am trying to do a database insert using PreparedStatements. Following is the piece of code I'm executing.

StringBuffer query = new StringBuffer();
query.append("INSERT INTO" + TABLENAME);
query.append("VALUES");
query.append("(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
PreparedStatement pstatement = connection.prepareStatement(query.toString());

Date dt = new java.sql.Date(lCapacityDailyVO.getDateTime().getTime().getTime());


pstatement.setDate(1,dt);
pstatement.setString(2,lCapacityDailyVO.getMetricName());
pstatement.setString(3,lCapacityDailyVO.getKpi_Desc());
pstatement.setLong(4,lCapacityDailyVO.getKpi_Value());
pstatement.setLong(5,lCapacityDailyVO.getKpi_Ceiling());
pstatement.setString(6,lCapacityDailyVO.getUnits());
pstatement.setLong(7,lCapacityDailyVO.getUtilization());
pstatement.setString(8,lCapacityDailyVO.getPlatform());
pstatement.setString(9,lCapacityDailyVO.getSubComponent());
pstatement.setString(10,lCapacityDailyVO.getEnv());

res = pstatement.executeUpdate();
connection.close();

While executing this code I'm getting the following SQLException. I cannot understand why.

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword
