I am just starting with JBDC. I need to create an Java/MySQL insert statement which inserts null, strings, and strings parsed to int (as an input from user using Scanner). I tried many possibilities and nothing is working so far. What would be the correct way of writing such an insert statement or maybe there is an other recommended way I should consider?
Thanks for your help!

You may need to consider using PreparedStatement and use setNull() to insert null.
Raw SQL statements are prone to SQL injection attacks.
See this example to learn more about to how to use setNull
