The results are displayed in a JTable. +TableExample3: + Is a minimal example showing how to plug a generic sorter into the + JTable. +TableExample4: + Uses specialized renderers and editors. + +TableExample3 and TableExample4 do not depend on database connectivity +and can be compiled and run in the normal way. + +The most interesting example is probably TableExample, which has a +TextArea that can be used as an editor for an SQL expression. Pressing +the Fetch button sends the expression to the database. The results are +displayed in the JTable underneath the text area. + +To run TableExample and TableExample2, you need to find a driver for +your database and set the environment variable JDBCHOME to a directory +where the driver is installed. See the following URL for a list of +JDBC drivers provided by third party vendors: + + http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers.html + +Once you find the driver, you can run one of the database examples by +specifying a class path that includes the JDBC classes and the example +classes. + +For example: + + java -classpath $(JDBCHOME):TableExample.jar TableExample + +These instructions assume that this installation's version of the java +command is in your path. If it isn't, then you should either +specify the complete path to the java command or update your +PATH environment variable as described in the installation +instructions for the Java(TM) SE Development Kit. +
