Question

is it possible to store more than one value in database column. if yes which type i should use? and through my java code how can i insert the values.

for example i want to have a column “language” which can store values like java, c++, c# etc. for a single row.

EDIT : i want to have a table called student with all the information about a student with a column to store the names of languages he knows.

Answer 1

You should create a table “language” with all the different languages you want to use, and then use a foreign key to link to this table from a LanguageID column in your other table.

Edit: If you want more than 1 language for a given record then you will need to also create a linking table which links the record to a given LanguageID. Then you can put any number of different languages in for a given record by creating new records in the linking table.
