Hello everybody!
Can anyone tell me the code for how to display data from table in database in a JTable in java. I am using java 1.5 and MS-Access.

@Peyosh, Here goes the answer to your question.

Here is the JAVA code for JDBC Connectivity:

//This will fetch the data from a table & display the output in a JTable


//JDBCAdapter.java
/*
* @(#)JDBCAdapter.java 1.16
*/

/**
* An adaptor, transforming the JDBC interface to the TableModel interface.

import java.sql.*;

Connection connection;
Statement statement;
ResultSet resultSet;
String[] columnNames = {};
Vector rows = new Vector();
ResultSetMetaData metaData;

public JDBCAdapter(String url, String driverName,
String user, String passwd) {
try {
Class.forName(driverName);
System.out.println("Opening db connection");

connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, passwd);
statement = connection.createStatement();
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
System.err.println("Cannot find the database driver classes.");
System.err.println(ex);
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
System.err.println("Cannot connect to this database.");
System.err.println(ex);
}
}

public void executeQuery(String query) {
if (connection == null || statement == null) {
System.err.println("There is no database to execute the query.");
return;
}
try {
resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();

int numberOfColumns = metaData.getColumnCount();
columnNames = new String[numberOfColumns];
// Get the column names and cache them.
// Then we can close the connection.
for(int column = 0; column < numberOfColumns; column++) {
columnNames[column] = metaData.getColumnLabel(column+1);
}

// Get all rows.
rows = new Vector();
while (resultSet.next()) {
Vector newRow = new Vector();
for (int i = 1; i <= getColumnCount(); i++) {
newRow.addElement(resultSet.getObject(i));
}
rows.addElement(newRow);
}
// close(); Need to copy the metaData, bug in jdbc:eek:dbc driver.
fireTableChanged(null); // Tell the listeners a new table has arrived.
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
System.err.println(ex);
}
}

public void close() throws SQLException {
System.out.println("Closing db connection");
resultSet.close();
statement.close();
connection.close();
}

protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
close();
super.finalize();

Both the 2 files are needed for Compiling & running the program.
To Compile:

javac TableExample.java

To run:

java TableExample

You must also configure & create a new DSN from the 'ODBC' icon
in the Control Panel.

See JDBC Tutorial Click here :*java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/index.html

Also see JDBC 2.0 Fundamentals Tutorial Click here : *java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Database/DBC20Intro/JDBC20.html


Also see How to use Tables : *java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html

You also need to study & understand JFC(Java Foundation Classes).
