error in sqlite "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" android

so i have a problem in my DBAdapter class its just crushes when i try to open the database: from the LogCat i guess the problem is in the onUpgrade function:

 public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion,
 int newVersion)
  {
       Log.w("SingleDBAdapter", "Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion
       + " to "
       + newVersion + ", which will destroy all old data");
       db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "+DATABASE_TABLE);
       onCreate(db);
  }
 }

here is the error:

07-28 11:32:49.443: E/Database(1244): Failure 1 (near "122": syntax error) on 0x2435b0 when preparing 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS 122'.

How would you drop a table in SQLite database?

To drop a table from a database in SQLite, you will use the DROP TABLE statement. This statement is used as follows for dropping the student table: DROP TABLE IF EXISTS student; The IF EXISTS statement is optional when dropping a table.

SQLite allows you to drop only one table at a time. To remove multiple tables, you need to issue multiple DROP TABLE statements. If you remove a non-existing table, SQLite issues an error.

What happens to foreign key references when a table is dropped in SQLite?

First, foreign keys are disabled by default in SQLite. So unless you enable them, any foreign keys that reference the target table will have no impact on the dropping of the target table. In other words, the table will be dropped.

The problem seems to be with this statement:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS 122

where 122, if it is really the name of the table to drop, is not delimited (with ', for instance) and thus cannot be treated as a name. But the parser expects a name there. Just enclose the name in single or double quotes, and it should work:

db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS '" + DATABASE_TABLE + "'");
