I asked Chat GPT and their suggestion is to run Google Shell then do it as normal. But we will be deploying the program probably on GCP so I don't think that's an option

To access a Postgre database hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with Java, you can use the JDBC driver for PostgreSQL. First, you will need to add the JDBC driver as a dependency in your Java project. You can do this by including the JDBC driver JAR file in your project's build path or by using a build automation tool like Maven or Gradle.

Next, you will need to configure your Java application to connect to the Postgre database on GCP. You will need to provide the database URL, username, and password in your Java code. The database URL should include the hostname of the GCP instance, the port number (usually 5432 for Postgre), and the database name.

Here is an example code snippet that shows how to connect to a Postgre database hosted on GCP with Java using the JDBC driver:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String url = "jdbc:postgresql://<GCP_HOSTNAME>:5432/<DATABASE_NAME>";
        String user = "<USERNAME>";
        String password = "<PASSWORD>";

        try (Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password)) {
            System.out.println("Connected to the database");
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            System.err.println("Error connecting to the database: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Replace <GCP_HOSTNAME>, <DATABASE_NAME>, <USERNAME>, and <PASSWORD> with your actual GCP instance hostname, database name, username, and password respectively.

After connecting successfully, you can execute SQL queries using PreparedStatement or Statement objects in Java.
