JDBC Tutorial Insert

Inserting Data into SQL Tables

We will insert data into the table’s Employees and Orders as created in the previous tutorial, one row at a time, supplying the information to be stored in each column of that row using a jdbc insert query statement. The values to be inserted into the columns are listed in the same order that the columns were declared when the table was created. Below is a JDBC Program showing the use of executeUpdate() to create a table and insert row into using java jdbc insert data statement.

For my website I am creating the following 2 tables (Employee, Orders) as a part of the JDBC tutorial for insert in jdbc insert query.

Employee_ID is the primary key which forms a relation between the 2 tables.

CREATE TABLE Employees (
Employee_ID INTEGER,
Name VARCHAR(30)
);

Employees:

Employee_ID Name
6323 Hemanth
5768 Bob
1234 Shawn
5678 Michaels

Orders:

CREATE TABLE Orders (
Prod_ID INTEGER,
ProductName VARCHAR(20),
Employee_ID INTEGER
);

Prod_ID Product Name Employee_ID
543 Belt 6323
432 Bottle 1234
876 Ring 5678
