Are you asking how to split the CSV into separate variables that are fed to SQL and sent to the database?

[Samama]

yes precisely thats what I'm asking.

Well, that can be quite extensive depending on the schema of your database and the number of column.
The correct way would be to create a prepared statement with SQL parameters that you fill on each loop.
The simple (less-efficient) way would be to create a new SQL string each loop and issue that to the database.
Here is an example of building a new string on each loop if given a CSV file containing three values:

import   java.util.*;
import   java.io.*;

public class SplitPrep
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      try
      {
         String strFilename = "C:\\science\\java\\DaniWeb\\419950\\CsvFile.csv";
         String strData = "";

         BufferedReader fileIn = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(strFilename));
         fileIn.readLine();

         String strSqlFmt = "INSERT INTO MYTABLE (MY_THIS, MY_THAT, MY_OTHER) VALUES('%s', '%s', '%s')";

         while(null != (strData = fileIn.readLine()))
         {
            System.out.println(strData);
            String[] arr = strData.split(",");

            System.out.printf(strSqlFmt, arr[0], arr[1], arr[2]);
         }

         fileIn.close();
      }
      catch(Exception exc)
      {
         System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
         return;
      }
   }
}

You would need to add code to open the database and use the built SQL to issue commands to the database.
Some of this will change depending on the database you're using.
