From what you have learned from your other thread (Inserting values to database), what do you think you might need to do to solve this problem? Have you tried to solve this problem on your own? Where did you get stuck? What did the code you tried fail to do that you wanted to do? What diagnostics did the code you tried produce?

Please become accustomed to provide decent context info of your problem.
It is always helpful to support a request with system info like OS and shell, related environment (variables, options), preferred tools, and adequate (representative) sample input and desired output data and the logics connecting the two, to avoid ambiguities and keep people from guessing.
