Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transac

I have a MySQL table named Student with two columns Student_id and name.

I am firing two queries using two connection objects, and it is giving me an Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Lock wait timeout 
exceeded; try restarting transaction
    at com.mysql.jdbc.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:1074)

    at com.mysql.jdbc.StatementImpl.execute(StatementImpl.java:730)
    at jdbc.ConnectUsingJdbc.main(ConnectUsingJdbc.java:19)

Here is the code that produces the error:

package jdbc;

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

public class ConnectUsingJdbc {

    public static void main(String[] args) 
        throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException{

        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
            "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root","root");
        Connection connection1 = DriverManager.getConnection(
            "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test","root","root");
        connection.setAutoCommit(false);
        connection1.setAutoCommit(false);
        Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
        statement.execute("insert into student values (3,'kamal')");
        Statement statement1 = connection1.createStatement();
        statement1.execute("delete from student where student_id = 3");
        connection.commit();
        connection1.commit();
    }
}

I am trying to delete the row using the connection1 object that I inserted using the other connection object.

Why am I getting this error?

Modify your code and reorder the executions as follows. It should work fine:

Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
statement.execute("insert into student values (3,'kamal')");
connection.commit();

Statement statement1 = connection1.createStatement();
statement1.execute("delete from student where student_id = 3");
connection1.commit();

The issue is, previously executed insert statement is not committed yet and holding the lock on the table when you are trying to execute a new delete statement creating a deadlock situation inside DB.
