JDBC Statement Code Snippets

/* Get mysql connection object.*/
java.sql.Connection conn = this.getMySqlConnection(ip, port, dbName, userName, password);
if(conn!=null)
{
	/* Create Statement object. */

	stmt.execute(createTableSql);
}

Complete Java Code

public class StatementCreateTableExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		StatementCreateTableExample scte = new StatementCreateTableExample();
		
		/* This is the sql command to create mysql table. */
		String createMySqlTableSql = "CREATE TABLE `test`.`teacher` ( `name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL , `email` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL ) ENGINE = InnoDB; ";
	
		
		scte.createMySQLTable("localhost", 3306, "test", "root", "", createMySqlTableSql);
	}
	
	/* This method return java.sql.Connection object from MySQL server. */
	public Connection getMySqlConnection(String ip, int port, String dbName, String userName, String password)
	{
		/* Declare and initialize a sql Connection variable. */
		Connection ret = null;
		
		try
		{

			Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
			
			/* Create mysql connection url. */
			String mysqlConnUrl = "jdbc:mysql://" + ip + ":" + port + "/" + dbName;
			
			/* Get the mysql Connection object. */
			ret = DriverManager.getConnection(mysqlConnUrl, userName , password);
		}catch(Exception ex)
		{
			ex.printStackTrace();
		}finally
		{
			return ret;
		}
	}
	
	public void createMySQLTable(String ip, int port, String dbName, String userName, String password, String createTableSql)
	{
		Connection conn = null;
		Statement stmt = null;
		try

				stmt.execute(createTableSql);
			}
			
		}catch(Exception ex)
		{
			ex.printStackTrace();
		}finally
		{
			/* Release statment and connection object. This can save system resources. */
			try
			{
				if(stmt!=null)
				{
					stmt.close();
					stmt = null;
				}
				
				if(conn!=null)
				{
					conn.close();
					conn = null;
				}
				
			}catch(Exception ex)
			{
				ex.printStackTrace();
			}
		}
	}

}
