Using .csv file and adding data into database

Question

hi,
i'm working on a project which shows all the share prices on a webpage from the FTSE100..
my problem is..i connect to yahoo.co.uk to get my share price information which is updated every 15mins..they return a .csv file to me...at the moment, i am just printing the information onto my website, but is there any way that i could store this information into a database if i needed the data to be used elsewhere...thanx for the help in advance

Answer 1

below is my code which i used to get my info onto the web...i'd just like to know how i would use this to store the data into a database..
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
public class SharePrice
     private String line;
     private int maxShares = 101;//maximun shares a user can have
     private int details = 5;//five details, name,date,time,price,change.
     public String [][] shareData = new String[maxShares][details];
public SharePrice(String [] shares) throws Exception
          getShare(shares);
     //returns a double array containing share data of each share as a seperate row in the array
public String [][] getShare(String [] sh) throws Exception
               for(int i=0; i<sh.length; i++)
                    //if the entry is null we have reached the end of the array
                    if(sh!=null)
                         String share = sh[i];
                         //part of url of the resource
                         String address ="http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=";
                         //adds the share tothe url so that particular shares data is retieved
                         address = address+share;
                         System.out.println(address);
                         try
                              //connection is created to the resource and input stream opened to read data
                              URL url = new URL(address);
                              BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                        new InputStreamReader(
                                        url.openStream()));
                              line = in.readLine();
                              in.close();
                         }catch(Exception e){System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
                              e.printStackTrace();}
                         //the line of data retrieved is spli and placed in a single row of the array
                         //beause the each piece of data is seperated by commas it is easily seperated.
                         StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(line, ",");
                         int count = t.countTokens();
                         System.out.println(" count= "+count);
                         while(t.hasMoreTokens())
                              for(int j=0; j<count; j++)
                                   String s = t.nextToken();
                                   shareData[i][j] = s;
          return shareData;
