Inserting list(ArrayList) data on multivalued attribute

[Deepak Naithani]

private Map<String, String> hobbies = new HashMap<String, String>();
private List<String> selectHobbies = new ArrayList<String>();

Tables
CREATE TABLE employee (emp_Id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
firstName VARCHAR(20),
lastName VARCHAR(20),
address VARCHAR(30),
DOB DATE,
sex VARCHAR(8),
country VARCHAR(15),
state VARCHAR(20));

CREATE TABLE emp_hobbies(emp_Id_ref INTEGER,
hobbies VARCHAR(10),
FOREIGN KEY (emp_Id_ref) REFERENCES employee(emp_Id));

I have these two tables where i want to enter values of selected hobbies "selectHobbies" into emp_hobbies so how should i do it, is there a method to directly enter the data to column from list or should i use String array to hold this value for entering to database.

Also there is a dependency between table, so for first attribute how should enter the value of emp_Id to emp_Id_ref.

I'm getting the key from table

ps = con.prepareStatement("insert into  practice.employee values (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)",
					Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
rs = ps.getGeneratedKeys();

			if (rs.next()) {
				System.out.println("rs.getInt(1):" + rs.getInt(1));
			}

with this key i want to enter the ArrayList data to table emphobbies.

for example
emp_Id_ref hobbies
