Displaying MySQL database records in a JTable using Eclipse

Create one Project > give name MYSQL_data_display_JTable
As we will be connecting to MySQL database , so we need to add mysql-connector.jar to connect to MySQL database. We will keep our MySQL data management code in a class my_mysal.java. Inside this class there is a method my_db_select() to collect records from MySQL table. This method my_db_select() will return an array with 4 rows of data and each having 5 columns. So we will declar one 2-D array first.

String[][] data = new String[4][5]; // [rows][columns]

We will connect to MySQL database and read details here on how to connect to MySQL and execute query. We will collect 4 rows only by using LIMIT query.

SELECT * FROM STUDENT LIMIT 0,4

Using this query we will get a record set of having first 4 rows of data from our student table.
We will loop through this record set to store each row data in our 2-D array data.

	int i=0;
	while(rs.next())  {
	 for(int j=0;j<5;j++) {
	 //System.out.print(rs.getString(j+1));
	 data[i][j]=rs.getString(j+1);
	 }
	 //System.out.println();
	 i=i+1;
	}

Once our data array is populated with rows , we can return the same to our main calling method.

return data;

In our JTable.java file we have already added one JTable. Learn more on how to add JTable here.

Now we will create one object of class my_mysql.java to access the object my_db_select() to get the data.

String[] column= {"ID","Name","Class","Mark","Sex"};
my_mysql obj=new my_mysql(); // Object is created

//Collect the data using the object obj.my_db_select()  with column 
jt1 = new javax.swing.JTable(obj.my_db_select(),column);

We have given the data input by using obj.my_db_select(). This runs the my_db_select() method of my_mysql.java class to get the 2-D array of 4 records.
