Importing data from ms access to db2 through java code

Question

hi there,
i want to develop a code in which i can set ODBC settings because i dont want user to manually set these settings using administration tools in control panel.....is there any way of doing this.?
but my main problem is , importing database from .mdb file to db2 using java code only.....
thanks in advance

Answer 1

one point i want to mention here...there is perhaps a 'cursor problem' ( or not a problem at all )...see the following code...
1. while (res.next()) {
2. System.out.println("-> " + res.getString(2));
3. jTextArea1.append("-> " + res.getString(2) + "\n");
4. }
You have a repetition problem.
Cursors are like iterators: you can't reuse them. Once you iterate through them you have to reinitialize them. Some JDBC implementations are picky about the order in which you access variables. This one appears to not allow you to access them twice.
The question is: why do you bother to get this value twice? Just do it once, like this:
while (res.next())
   String str = res.getString(2);
   System.out.println("-> " + str);
    jTextArea1.append("-> " + str + "\n");
}Another question worth asking: Why is UI code mingled in with database code? Poor layering. I hate seeing Swing and JDBC mixed together like this.
