And also i added i code for your reference
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class EISConnector
public static String getConnectEIS() throws Exception
try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("Connection3 :");
Connection con1=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:eiscon","scott","tiger");
System.out.println("statement2");
PreparedStatement stmt1=con1.prepareStatement("insert into tryout(toolnumber,toolname) values(?,?)");
stmt1.setString(1,doc.getNumber());
stmt1.setString(2,doc.getName());
System.out.println("st");
int i=stmt1.executeUpdate();
System.out.println("i :"+i);
System.out.println("End");
con1.close();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("error..>"+e);
return new String("End of Connection");
}
