    So which of the following can you do?

    - open a connection, and write a fixed string into your sql database
    - on a button click, write the dialog contents to a local file on the file system

    In other words, practice some intermediate steps.
    Practice each unknown step in isolation, so you understand what each is about.

    Breaking the problem down, creating simple tests to explore the parts you don't know, and adapting the parts you do know is all part of writing code.

    For example, if you're stuck on the button press, there isn't a lot of point in immediately going into detail over the sql.

    Show us what you can do.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
