Thread: How to save contents of excel file in database using java swing

I have to read an Excel file and transfer the contents to the database using Java swing.The excel file contains questions for the surveys with options for answers or responses.The database should have a table say Question with columns "Question No., Question, Option 1, Option 2 and so on".I have this code snippet with which I am able to read the excel file and display its contents on the console but I am unable to transfer the content to the database using SQL.Could you please help me in doing what I need.Provide a code for doing that.
