Important! storing Java counter in database

Question

How do I store a counter from a Java webpage into a database? It doesn't really matter what database I use, I just need the values of the counter to be stored in the database 3 times a day and if it were clicked, it would be updated with the current counter. Thanks.

No, I don't really understand the environment. I was just looking for a quick fix but clearly that isn't possible lol. Anyways, I got someone to help me and now I'm using the File Streaming method. Here's the code but it gives me the following error messages.
AdamRecorder.java:39: cannot resolve symbol
variable: currentLocale
location: class AdamRecorder
timeFormatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT, currentLocale);
AdamRecorder.java:40: cannot resolve symbol
variable: currentLocale
location: class AdamRecorder
timeFormatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT, currentLocale);
AdamRecorder.java:46: cannot resolve symbol
Symbol: method toString()
location: class java.lang.Integer
out.write("Counter Reading: " + new Integer(Counter).ToString() + " Time: " + timeOut);
The actual code for my program is:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class AdamRecorder
     // Our only method so far, RecordIt()
     public void RecordIt(int Counter) throws java.lang.Exception
//static public void displayDate(Locale currentLocale) {
          // define all varibles
          File outputfile;
          FileWriter out;
          Date today;
          String dateOut;
          String timeOut;
          DateFormat dateFormatter;
          DateFormat timeFormatter;
// Starts the function Section
timeFormatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT, currentLocale);
          dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.DEFAULT, currentLocale);
          today = new Date();
          dateOut = dateFormatter.format(today);
          timeOut = timeFormatter.format(today);
          outputfile = new File(dateOut + ".log"); // Our Filename will be the date
          out = new FileWriter(outputfile);
          out.write("Counter Reading: " + new Integer(Counter).ToString() + " Time: " + timeOut); // Write the current time/count to the file
          out.close();
Thanks again.
