This chapter provides an example on how to insert records in a table using JDBC application. Before executing following example, make sure you have the following in place −
To execute the following example you can replace the username and password with your actual user name and password.

The following steps are required to create a new Database using JDBC application −
Import the packages − Requires that you include the packages containing the JDBC classes needed for database programming. Most often, using import java.sql.* will suffice.

Register the JDBC driver − Requires that you initialize a driver so you can open a communications channel with the database.

Open a connection − Requires using the DriverManager.getConnection() method to create a Connection object, which represents a physical connection with a database server.

Execute a query − Requires using an object of type Statement for building and submitting an SQL statement to insert records into a table.

Copy and paste the following example in JDBCExample.java, compile and run as follows −
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class JDBCExample {
   static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TUTORIALSPOINT";
   static final String USER = "guest";
   static final String PASS = "guest123";

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // Open a connection
      try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
         Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
      ) {		      
         // Execute a query
         System.out.println("Inserting records into the table...");          
         String sql = "INSERT INTO Registration VALUES (100, 'Zara', 'Ali', 18)";
         stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
         sql = "INSERT INTO Registration VALUES (101, 'Mahnaz', 'Fatma', 25)";
         stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
         sql = "INSERT INTO Registration VALUES (102, 'Zaid', 'Khan', 30)";
         stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
         sql = "INSERT INTO Registration VALUES(103, 'Sumit', 'Mittal', 28)";
         stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
         System.out.println("Inserted records into the table...");   	  
      } catch (SQLException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } 
   }
}
Now let us compile the above example as follows −
C:\>javac JDBCExample.java
C:\>
When you run JDBCExample, it produces the following result −
C:\>java JDBCExample
Inserting records into the table...
Inserted records into the table...
