   Here in this section we will see how retrieve data from database using sql query given by user. To execute query first create a data source and then execute sql query for that data source.
     
10. Insert data in database by using sql tag of JSTL SQL library
    Here in this section we are going to create application that update database by inserting data given by user. To update database first create a data source and then execute insert sql query for that data source.
      
11. Execute database query by using sql tag of JSTL SQL library
    Here in this section we are going to create application that execute sql query given by user using JSTL SQL Library. To execute query first create a data source and then execute sql query for that data source.
      
12. Create URL using <c:url> tag of JSTL Core tag library
    Here in this example we are going to create a url according to the user's given parameter by using <c:url> tag.
      
13. Use of <c:catch> tag of Core JSTL tags
    In this example we have used Core JSTL tag <c:catch> that is used to handle exception generated during run time. Here we will create a simple calculator to divide two numbers, if user enters values instead a digit, it shows a error message as a response.
     
14. Use of <sql:transaction> tag of jstl
    Here in this section we are going to create application that how to group queries and update operations by using <sql:transaction> tag of jstl.
