DBUtil class

• Using Class.forName method in static block to load MySQL Driver class at runtime when DBUtil class is used fist time. So, driver class is loaded and registered once. We don't need additional method to load driver class every time we want to get connection.
• Since JDBC 4.0, we don't need to explicitly load driver class. But, it is good practice to load driver class explicitly for backward compatibility.
• Using getConnection method for getting Connection based on url, username and password.
• Using handleSQLException method to handle SQLException.
