Answer 1

Your approach is good.You can proceed your approach.

This Sample will help you to do your task:

class SimpleThread extends Thread {
   public SimpleThread(String str) {
    super(str);
   }
   public void run() {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        System.out.println(i + " " + getName());
        try {
             // Add your customized code here to update the contents in the database.

            sleep((int)(Math.random() * 1000));

        } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
    }
    System.out.println("DONE! " + getName());
}
