Here’s an example to show you how to create a table in database via JDBC PrepareStatement. To issue a create statement, calls the PrepareStatement.executeUpdate() method like this :

PreparedStatement preparedStatement = dbConnection.prepareStatement(createTableSQL);
// EXECUTE CREATE SQL stetement
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();

Full example…

package com.mkyong.jdbc;
 
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
 
public class JDBCPreparedStatementCreateExample {
 
	private static final String DB_DRIVER = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
	private static final String DB_CONNECTION = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:MKYONG";
	private static final String DB_USER = "user";
	private static final String DB_PASSWORD = "password";
 
	public static void main(String[] argv) {
 
		try {
 
			createTable();
 
		} catch (SQLException e) {
 
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
 
		}
 
	}
 
	private static void createTable() throws SQLException {
 
		Connection dbConnection = null;
		PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
 
		String createTableSQL = "CREATE TABLE DBUSER1("
				+ "USER_ID NUMBER(5) NOT NULL, "
				+ "USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, "
				+ "CREATED_BY VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, "
				+ "CREATED_DATE DATE NOT NULL, " + "PRIMARY KEY (USER_ID) "
				+ ")";
 
		try {
			dbConnection = getDBConnection();
			preparedStatement = dbConnection.prepareStatement(createTableSQL);
 
			System.out.println(createTableSQL);
 
			// execute create SQL stetement
			preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
 
			System.out.println("Table \"dbuser\" is created!");
 
		} catch (SQLException e) {
 
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
 
		} finally {
 
			if (preparedStatement != null) {
				preparedStatement.close();
			}
 
			if (dbConnection != null) {
				dbConnection.close();
			}
 
		}
 
	}
 
	private static Connection getDBConnection() {
 
		Connection dbConnection = null;
 
		try {
 
			Class.forName(DB_DRIVER);
 
		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
 
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
 
		}
 
		try {
 
			dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(
                            DB_CONNECTION, DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD);
			return dbConnection;
 
		} catch (SQLException e) {
 
			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
 
		}
 
		return dbConnection;
 
	}
 
}

Result

A table named “DBUSER” is created.

CREATE TABLE DBUSER(
   USER_ID NUMBER(5) NOT NULL, 
   USERNAME VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, 
   CREATED_BY VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, 
   CREATED_DATE DATE NOT NULL, 
   PRIMARY KEY (USER_ID) 
)
TABLE "dbuser" IS created!
