        String url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
        String databaseName="jdbcexamples";
        String userName="root";
        String password="";
        String tableName = "student";
        Connection con = null;
        try{
          Class.forName(driverName);
          con=(Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(url+databaseName, userName, password);
          Statement stat=con.createStatement();
          String sqlQuery = "DELETE FROM " + tableName +" WHERE id = 2";
