I know the syntax to write a create table statement for MySQL where I give the table name there itself instead of it being a string variable. How do I write a variable in that statement?

What I have tried:

The syntax is something like this:

CREATE TABLE table_name ....

Here table_name is a predefined variable where a string is stored.

You have to concatenate the table name into the string in your java Code:

Java

String sqlCommand = "CREATE TABLE " + table_name + " (Id INT, ...

But ... be aware that that leaves your code wide open to SQL Injection, so you need to check, verify, and carefully ensure that the variable contains a single name, and a single name only. If you don't you risk your DB being damaged or destroyed.
