    Is this a java programming problem or a SQL problem?

    its create table but fields it should be create automatically in table
    This looks like a SQL problem.

    Are you getting a compiler error with the sql String?
    create table is a SQL command/statement and has nothing to do with java programming.

    Default Re: Import text file to mysql

    I know how to add fields manually in table. but I want to write the code to create fields itself as in text file first line is columns in table. i don't have to go to code every time and add columns everytime.. suppose i have one text to import in mysql it has 100 fields so i don't want to add 100 fields manually. it will create fields automatically in table.

    Well, i know how to create a table in mysql database java code. I already write the code for that. as you seen in my code.
    I got problem when I try to create fields in table as a first line in text file. I don't have to type the columns every time.

    Please help me.
