I am not able to perform mutual update to my Database. My Requirement is like this :
 Insert IDS                       UPDate DB Entries
  ID  ConnectedTo            ID    connectedTo    connectedVia 
  2    1                     --- No Entry -----
  2    3                     --  No Entry ----- 
When ID 1 Comes in to picture (Enties happened to Table)
  1    4                     1        3             2
  1    5                     2        4             1
  1    2                     2        5             1 
When ID 3 Comes into picture (Enties happened to Table)
  3    4                     3        5             1
  3    1                         ----
  3    2                         ----
Similarly when ID 4 Comes in to picture
  4    9                     4         2           3
  4    10                    4         5           1
  4     3                    4         2           1
  4     1                    1         9           4
                             1         10          4
Its basically Updating the mutual connections.No Duplicate entries should happen. Like for example 2 3 and 3 2 are mutually connected and 1 is associated with them so there is no need to insert (3 2 via 1). I think this is my requirement. Anything possible combinations i have missed please let me know. i will Update. Please help me writing the logic or any example using jdbc and java.
