Working with Statements
CityBook Libraries wants to query their books table. To execute SQL queries in JDBC, you need to create a Statement object from your connection, then use it to run queries and get results.
The database credentials are preloaded in the Credentials class, and all necessary imports (Connection, DriverManager, SQLException, Statement, ResultSet) are available.
This exercise is part of the course
