i am following this http://www.mkyong.com/jdbc/jdbc-preparestatement-example-select-list-of-the-records/

Answer 1

Seems that you have a missing parenth. at the end of your query. it should be :

String query="create table newdata(name1 varchar(20),name2 varchar(20))";

Answer 2

your sql string is wrong!

Try this

String query="create table newdata(name1 varchar(20),name2 varchar(20))";

Notice the missing closing parenthesis
