Connection is an interface.With a reference of type Connection you would actually point to an implementation of Connection interface.

Connection con;
interface we cant create object;

You are not creating an object in this statement,
You are declaring a variable con that can later hold an object that implements the interface Connection.

Later in your code, you will not use: con = new Connection(), but something else.
What are you doing: you are asking your database driver to give you an object that implements the Connection interface.

It's a good idea to set a breakpoint in this line of code, and see what class this object actually is.

Regards, Jan

[corrected my typo: Connection class - doh]
