    creating a database type system in java

    hi, ok i am about to start my final year of my computer science degree and during my final year i have to do some sort of project related to what i have studied...

    basicly i have to create some sort of software or application in my project and i had this idea of creating a application that can be used in a local GP or clinic hospital.

    i want this program to store various things on a database and be able to interact with the information using GUI which i plan to code in java.. is java a suitable language for making a database or is their a way to implement SQL into a java enviornment?? if so, how, what tools do i need etc...

    i know some of you guys must have done a degree in conputer science, and was also wondering what u guys did for your final year projects. thanks for your time...

    Well, the thing you ned to look at is the Java API's. Start by looking at "java.sql.*" and the interface "Connection". Once you have the db connection sorted you should be - if you know Java - flying.

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html

    This is your final year project? As far as I'm concerned, you need to go a little deeper if you want a nice grade.

    i see, what did u do for your final year project? i cant think of much to do besides this or an online databse website.

    i want to create an interface with textboxes, buttons etc that will be used only to manipulate the database, eg display all patients on screen etc..

    i want to display the contents of the database or a database quary into a textfield area..

    Well I didn't choose to do a programming final year project (i'm not concerned about getting into BCS unlike some toss-pots ). Mine concerned various forms of HCI. You should receive guidence from your Lecturer or assigned dissertation support persons(s). I'd say a however, your project should ultimately put forward a case for an argument. Your current project seems a little "thin".

    if you want to do something fir a final year - perhaps try to think of something that stands out a little, its tough to think of something I know, but a client/server app is a little dull, and you'll get plenty of time to do that in the "real world" job


    I'll ponder this one.....

    Read through some online Computing Journals or go to your University library and find some past final-year project dissertations. IMO those are the best places to start.

    I did something on intelligent agents. Some java integrated to some specific "AI" language which was flakey to say the least. Point it at a HTML page and it attempts to pull out the useful information on the page.

    Got a 2.2 for the project, mainly due to the problems with the AI language integrating to java breaking frequently in my final demo

    Things that spring to mind as interesting things

    Java version of Gtalk client?.
    Or indeed a web version of it?.

    Anything VOIP based, or maybe a network traffic anaylser?.

    Something you need to learn and develop, should get you best marks.

    I've seen some last year Java projects and they seemed pretty advanced. If you want to communicate with an SQL server you can use JDBC. I'm currently working on a large client-side application using Java which communicated with an SQL server in-directly

    I think as TiG said, a Java IM client perhaps? VOIP would be excellent as well

    im no expert in any AI related stuff or networking stuff whats a java IM ??

    yea i have read through some past projects and their all mainly interactive cd softwares, game programs, web sites, databases and a few other AI apps

    Just simply learn about VOIP. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean you can't learn it and apply it.

    IM stands for Instant Messenger. The same as GTalk and MSN Messenger.

    If you're going to produce an information system then have you any prior experience in JDBMS's? That knowledge may be essential to building a solid foundation for that information system.

    There's plenty of applications you can produce.

    Well i'm purely working on the assumption that was true for our year. Simple projects got crap marks. Projects with a requirement to learn something outside the scope of the standard uni course was automatically had a much higher chance of getting a very good grade. True you have to balance it with the risk of being able to complete the project.

    But then you can bring things like risk analysis into the project. Gain extra marks for this type of project management.

    Doing research and design is a huge amount of any commercial project. Again i'm sure you'll be given credit if you document and produce something like this as documentation to support your work.

    You've got plenty of people here who can point you in the right direction. PLUS uni is for learning. Make the most of it

    my final degree project was rediculously hard, over-reaching, and (at demonstration time) incomplete. it also suffered from pretty poor documentation. yet the idea was so very cool, and the implementation zany enough to get some real results (possibly by luck, god knows C is a pain), that i didn't fail *too* badly at it. 2.2 overall for the degree

    I suppose a balance of something different than the bog standard client server app and something that is achievable with a finished, if not polished result.
    It is Inevitable.....

    You need to argue a case, either for or against, for the best results. You can't just choose to do somthing for the sake of it, no matter how advanced.
