Answer 1

Alternatively, you can make use of the QuickTable project.

Screenshot

Here is the DBTable component in action:

The DBTable component is embedded in a traditionnal JFrame.

Sample code

The following sample code produces the window shown in the previous screenshot:

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.UIManager;

import quick.dbtable.DBTable;

public class QuickTableFrame extends JFrame {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -631092023960707898L;

    public QuickTableFrame() {
        try {
            // Use system look and feel
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());

            // set Frame properties
            setSize(300, 200);
            setVisible(true);
            setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

            // create a new quicktable
            DBTable dBTable1 = new DBTable();

            // add to frame
            getContentPane().add(dBTable1);

            // set the database driver to be used, we are using jdbc-odbc driver
            dBTable1.setDatabaseDriver("org.h2.Driver");

            /*
             * set the jdbc url,"quicktabledemo" is the data source we have
             * created for the database
             */
            dBTable1.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:h2:mem:test;INIT=create table employee as select * from CSVREAD('test.csv');");

            // set the select statement which should be used by the table
            dBTable1.setSelectSql("select * from employee");

            // to create the navigation bars for the table
            dBTable1.createControlPanel();

            // connect to database & create a connection
            dBTable1.connectDatabase();

            // fetch the data from database to fill the table
            dBTable1.refresh();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // create a new table frame
        QuickTableFrame myframe = new QuickTableFrame();
    }
}
