private void jButton3ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {

        try {

            p1.setString(1, num.getText());
            p1.setString(2, name.getText());
            p1.executeUpdate();
            // TODO add your handling code here:
        } catch (SQLException ex) {

This is my insert module.. This works in my friend's laptop. But not in mine :( I get the following error:
