Insert data into MySQL from Excel via Eclipse using Selenium and Testng - mysql

Question

I got struck while trying to do the coding part. Following is the part which i tried. I'm in need to know the #Test portion. I don't know to write the Selenium code to part to fetch the data from excel and to insert the data in MySQL.
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleneseTestBase;
import java.io.File;
import java.sql.*;
import jxl.*;
public class testng extends SeleneseTestBase{
#BeforeTest
public static void connection()
{
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
#BeforeTest
public static void MysqlConnection() //we need to add the Dataprovider name[name="DP"] to pass the data from excel sheet
{
try {
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root", "admin");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
System.out.println("Testing Testfile1");
}
#DataProvider(name = "DP1")
public Object[][] createData1() throws Exception{
Object[][] retObjArr=getTableArray("D:\\sakthi\\selenium\\data3.xls","DataPool", "mysqldata");
return(retObjArr);
}
#Test (dataProvider = "DP1")
public void testDataProviderExample(int id, int plist_id, String email) throws Exception {
//This is the part where i'm in need of help
}
public String[][] getTableArray(String xlFilePath, String sheetName, String tableName) throws Exception{
String[][] tabArray=null;
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File(xlFilePath));
Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(sheetName);
int startRow,startCol, endRow, endCol,ci,cj;
Cell tableStart=sheet.findCell(tableName);
startRow=tableStart.getRow();
startCol=tableStart.getColumn();
Cell tableEnd= sheet.findCell(tableName, startCol+1,startRow+1, 100, 64000, false);
endRow=tableEnd.getRow();
endCol=tableEnd.getColumn();
System.out.println("startRow="+startRow+", endRow="+endRow+", " +"startCol="+startCol+", endCol="+endCol);
tabArray=new String[endRow-startRow-1][endCol-startCol-1];
ci=0;
for (int i=startRow+1;i<endRow;i++,ci++){
cj=0;
for (int j=startCol+1;j<endCol;j++,cj++){
tabArray[ci][cj]=sheet.getCell(j,i).getContents();
}
}
return(tabArray);
}
}

Selenium is used to control a web browser, you don't need it open an excel file and write to a DB.
