Newbie Java MySql question

[Scott Matthews]

I am new to java (about 6 months). I downloaded the MySql and am running the Server (MySqlD) on my Win98 computer. I can run MySql and all works fine when I input commands by hand. I want to now create a java program that will open an existing database and insert some records.
Can anyone provide a quick source code snippet that would handle opening a database and "sending" the database a SQL statement?

Thanks for your time.

Connection mysql=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/ecom?user=username&password=password");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
