Step 3
Create the table Employee in the TEST database as follows −

mysql> use TEST;


mysql> create table Employees
(
id int not null,
age int not null,
first varchar (255),
last varchar (255)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)

Create Data Records


We will now create few records in the Employee table as follows −

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (100, 18, 'Zara', 'Ali');


Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (101, 25, 'Mahnaz', 'Fatma');


Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (102, 30, 'Zaid', 'Khan');


Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (103, 28, 'Sumit', 'Mittal');

Let us now write a JSP which will make use of the <sql:update> tag to execute an SQL
INSERT statement to create one record in the table as follows −

<%@ page import = "java.io.*,java.util.*,java.sql.*"%>


<%@ page import = "javax.servlet.http.*,javax.servlet.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix = "c"%>
<%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix = "sql"%>

<html>
<head>
<title>JSTL sql:update Tag</title>
</head>

<body>
<sql:setDataSource var = "snapshot" driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TEST"
user = "root" password = "pass123"/>

<sql:update dataSource = "${snapshot}" var = "count">


INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (104, 2, 'Nuha', 'Ali');
</sql:update>

<sql:query dataSource = "${snapshot}" var = "result">


SELECT * from Employees;
</sql:query>

<table border = "1" width = "100%">


<tr>
<th>Emp ID</th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>

<c:forEach var = "row" items = "${result.rows}">


<tr>
<td> <c:out value = "${row.id}"/></td>
<td> <c:out value = "${row.first}"/></td>
<td> <c:out value = "${row.last}"/></td>
<td> <c:out value = "${row.age}"/></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>

</body>
</html>

Access the above JSP, the following result will be displayed −

+-------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| Emp ID | First Name | Last Name | Age |
+-------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| 100 | Zara | Ali | 18 |
| 101 | Mahnaz | Fatma | 25 |
| 102 | Zaid | Khan | 30 |
| 103 | Sumit | Mittal | 28 |
| 104 | Nula | Ali | 2 |
+-------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+

Similar way, you can try SQL UPDATE and DELETE statements on the same table.
