Answer 1

I think file.createNewFile() creates the new file in actual.. please see following code for detal...

  File file = new File("D:\\tables\\test.sql");

            // if file does not exists, then create it
            if (!file.exists()) {
                file.createNewFile();
            }

            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
