Learn JDBC, see the Sun website for tutorials/Google or buy a book. This will teach you how to read and write to a database.

"I am using eclipse as developing tool"

I'm not sure if I would recommend using an IDE for a beginner as you'll end up spending more time learning the environment than programming. But why not...

And by "executable" I hope you mean a .jar file and not .exe.

P.S. For someone who is a SCJP, you should really be showing more initiative.

Hi,

It's hard to know what sort of answer to pitch to you. What part of the exercise is giving you the most trouble?

Do you need help designing a form with swing controls? Are you having trouble getting the application to talk to the mysql database? Are you unsure of the database schema?

Let us know more specifically what you need and we can try to help out.

Cheers, Jared.
