Answer 1

just for reference

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";

    Class.forName(driver);
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname", "user", "password");

    Statement st = con.createStatement();
    int val = st.executeUpdate("INSERT employee VALUES(" + 13 + "," + "'Aman'" + ")");
    System.out.println("1 row affected");

  }
}
