Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO Bills (account, number, date, vendor)
VALUES ('vai', '23', 10/12/2006, 'jaadya')");

Answer 1

I would imagine the problem is with the date. Different DBs have different date formats. To avoid that problem, use a PreparedStatement.
java.sql.Date date = ...;
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO Bills (account, number, date, vendor) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
ps.setString(1, "vai");
ps.setString(2, "23);
ps.setDate(3, date);
ps.setString(4, "jaadya");
ps.executeUpdate();This saves you from having to deal with vendors' various date formats, keeps you from having to escape special characters in strings, and prevents SQL injection.
