How to get the status of already created Jira ticket by API

Question

I am creating a ticket using rest api in the jira instance  with the status as Open based on the input from the source database. If a user update the jira ticket status ,how can i get the status on the specific ticket so that the same i can update in the database.

That was a bit short, sorry.

Your call will have got a success/failure message back from Jira.  The success message includes the key of the issue that was created.

You should make another call to Jira with that key to read the issue.  The response to that call will contain the issue status.  (Inside all the other fields, I'd recommend only asking for the fields you need, not everything every time)

This is my code where i create the ticket in jira and update the jira id in the table .Can you tell me where can i read the status and update the data in table?

public int createDQTasks(Properties pty, ResultSet rs)

Um, you said you are creating issues with the REST API.  You use that to read them as well.
