Create a Table in Mysql database through SQL Query in JSP

This is detailed java code to connect a jsp page to mysql database and create a table of given name in the specified database.

Create a database : First create a database named 'usermaster' in mysql and create table "user_master". Create an application directory named 'user' in the Tomcat. Before running this java code you need mysql connector jar in the Tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/user/WEB-INF/lib directory.

Creating JSP pages:

In this example, we have created two JSP pages. First page is to provide link to create table and the next page for processing the table creation.

1. welcome_to_database_query.jsp
2.create_table.jsp

1. welcome_to_database_query.jsp

Save this code as a .jsp file named "welcome_to_database_query.jsp" in the directory Tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/user/. You can run this jsp page typing http://localhost:8080/user/welcome_to_database_query.jsp url in address bar of the browser.
