Answer 1

Got the solution. This code works fine.

  private void srKeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){

    String sch = ((JTextField)sr.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).getText();
    String schh = "SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE name LIKE '" + sch + "%';";
    search = conn.getQuery(schh);
    sr.removeAllItems();
    try {
        while (search.next()) {
            String item = search.getString("name");
            sr.addItem(item);
        }
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(dataprocess.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }
    System.out.println(sch);
    sr.setSelectedItem(null);
    sr.setPopupVisible(true);
    ((JTextField)sr.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).setText(sch);
  }
