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.
2.create_table.jsp

Save this code with name "create_table.jsp" in the directory Tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/user/. This jsp code creates table of specified name in the mysql database and shows a response page.
If table exists already or found any error to make connection with database then shows an error page.
