But Connection is a interface & so how can we access it

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbcdbc:student");

Statement st = con.createStatement();
Creates a Statement object for sending SQL statements to the database
ReturnType of createStatement() is Statemen

You (compiler) call (not exactly call, bind is more appropriate) method on reference and JVM calls method on object, the reference point to.

In other word, at compile time methods are bind with the reference and at run time methods are executed by object, the reference point to.

Now you figure out what's happening above.
