For the above code, we have created two database tables:
CREATE TABLE `country` (
`countryid` bigint(255) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`countryname` varchar(255) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`countryid`));
CREATE TABLE `state` (
`stateid` bigint(255) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`countryid` int(255) default NULL,
`state` varchar(255) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`stateid`));
