    Default Passing data to a MySQL database

    Hi I'm having a little trouble passing a few variablesin to a database using a java servlet, here is the code I am working with and what I have attempted so far...

    String ID = request.getParameter("ID"); 
    	String name = request.getParameter("name");
    	String surname = request.getParameter("surname");
    	String degree = request.getParameter("degree");
    	String DOB = request.getParameter("DOB");

    These are my variables which pulled form another HTML form

    I want to pass these into a table 'students' which is already created.

    the trouble I am having is concatenating the statement so it will work through Mysql, I am sure it is very simple but I just can't figure it out.

    This is what I have tried so far

    String updateSQL = "insert into students (studentno, firstname, surname, degreecode, dob) values '" + ID + "',"+"'" + name + ",'"+"'" + surname + ",'"+"'" + degree + ",'"+"'" + DOB + "'}";

    Thanks in advance for any help!
