[RESOLVED] Access2003 database
I have an app that I need to add on to store data in a Master table/Child table fashion, but I need to it to be portable so I figured an Access2003 DB should be easy enough (the data isn't sensitive and security doesn't matter), the problem is how do I connect to it (We're using NetBeans 6.8) and get data in and out of the tables?
I'm hoping to add it to the base folder of the project (it's where the binary files that the app already uses are located), then I just create the connection object and start getting/updating the data from there.
I do this stuff in .Net all the time, but the differences between Java and .Net regarding databases is enough to have me lost right now.
Re: [RESOLVED] Access2003 database
Thanks, I think I'm just going to use 2 binary files instead as that's what I actually know how to do.
That and Win7 doesn't even have an ODBC dialog to configure the access database with, which sucks cause it'd be nice if I didn't have to do that.

I'm not sure about but I think windows 7 has the ODBC option but it's not shown in the Control Panel any more, it's in the Administrative Tools I think

It'd still be a problem because I have to be able to zip the project folder, upload it to the system then they download the zip file, extract the files then run it. No registering of anything, anywhere, it just runs straight from the folder.
