Any Computer Programmers here???

Just wondering if there were any fellow Redskins fans who were computer programmers. I have a question about Java programming. If there is anyone on here who is a java programmer, how can I make my java application read, add, or query to an Access database?


Sorry to get nerdy on you guys! :biggthump

Your webserver would have to be configured to access an Access ODBC/JDBC driver. I'm not sure that Microsoft would make it easy for Java to play nice with one of its own products. If this is just a standalone applet (not served), you're probably SOL.

This driver is free: http://rmijdbc.objectweb.org/ (http://rmijdbc.objectweb.org/Access/access.html)

Good Luck

Not wanting to do a web application per se, but just wanting to to build a java application that can read, write, and edit data from an Access database. If I could somehow configure it to work with DBU, I'd just stick with that (Lord knows that would make conversion alot simpler for us.) I'll check out that driver. Thanks! :)

Get everything working?

I just saw this thread.

for simple java programs, i used "netbeans". you can easily implement access with it, if you register it with ODBC you should will be able to get it to work on your desktop pc.

I have honestly not been home long enough to give it a chance. Let me ask you guys another question. Which compiler do you guys recommend? I learned Java on JGRASP - but it strictly uses the Swing libraries and does not complie the program into a stand alone executable (meaning of course not having to use a compiler to run the program.)

I also use JGrasp to do programs.

I know CPayne uses Netbeans and another friend of mine is sold on Eclipse.

i've used eclipse and liked it myself.

For stand alone executable creation, look into Java Launcher (http://www.syncedit.com/software/javalauncher/index.html).

Netbeans can use any Java library you throw at it. All IDEs use the JDK.

Eclipse is very powerful, but overkill for a lot of projects.

I took java and C++ in highschool and learned nothing. I would be the person who learned to do net sends and have fun with them :) .
