8,749 PointsHow do you create a statement and execute a query using Java and SQL?
I believe I am following the right steps but the compiler says that it cannot find the symbol.
// Load class "org.sqlite.JDBC"
// Establish connection to database named "treehouse.db"
try(Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:treehouse.db")) {
Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC");
Statement stmt = null;
stmt = c.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("INSERT INTO languages (id, name) VALUES (2, 'Java')");
} catch(SQLException ex) {
