MySql Error in Java program

[Alexz003]

Hello,

I'm not really sure if this is the right area i should be putting this(so i'm going to post it both in java section and this section) but here is the problem.

I am getting the following error

Exception in thread "main" com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.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 '> 2010-01-15 ORDER BY date ASC LIMIT 1' at line 1

	at Main.Database.execute(Database.java:153)
	at Analysis.Analysis_A.main(Analysis_A.java:40)

The problem is, my code seems right because when i plug it into the actual SQL query box in MySql it runs perfectly fine.

Here is the code that is erroring up:

Date date = (Date) RS.getObject(1);
					double percentChange = RS.getDouble("percentChange");
					ResultSet RS2 = newConnection.execute("SELECT date, percentChange FROM " + tickerMaster[x] + "WHERE date > " + date + " ORDER BY date ASC LIMIT 1");

I am obtaining the box contents using an object, however i am parsing it as an SQL Date. I have also tried using getDate(1).

If you could help, it would be greatly appreciated
