Most simple code to populate JTable from ResultSet

Question

I googled the whole day and no luck. I call getnPrintAllData() method after pressing OK button. So the code is:

public class DatabaseSQLiteConne         


        

Answer 1

Well I'm sure that this is the simplest way to populate JTable from ResultSet, without any external library. I have included comments in this method.

public void resultSetToTableModel(ResultSet rs, JTable table) throws SQLException{
        //Create new table model
        DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();

        //Retrieve meta data from ResultSet
        ResultSetMetaData metaData = rs.getMetaData();

        //Get number of columns from meta data
        int columnCount = metaData.getColumnCount();

        //Get all column names from meta data and add columns to table model
        for (int columnIndex = 1; columnIndex <= columnCount; columnIndex++){
            tableModel.addColumn(metaData.getColumnLabel(columnIndex));
        }

        //Create array of Objects with size of column count from meta data
        Object[] row = new Object[columnCount];

        //Scroll through result set
        while (rs.next()){
            //Get object from column with specific index of result set to array of objects
            for (int i = 0; i < columnCount; i++){
                row[i] = rs.getObject(i+1);
            }
            //Now add row to table model with that array of objects as an argument
            tableModel.addRow(row);
        }

        //Now add that table model to your table and you are done :D
        table.setModel(tableModel);
    }

Answer 2

I think this is the Easiest way to populate a table with ResultSet with a method like

FillTable(MyTable, "select * Customers;");

And a very simple method can be made as

public void FillTable(JTable table, String Query)
{
    try
    {
        CreateConnection();
        Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
        ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery(Query);

        //To remove previously added rows
        while(table.getRowCount() > 0) 
        {
            ((DefaultTableModel) table.getModel()).removeRow(0);
        }
        int columns = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();
        while(rs.next())
        {  
            Object[] row = new Object[columns];
            for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
            {  
                row[i - 1] = rs.getObject(i);
            }
            ((DefaultTableModel) table.getModel()).insertRow(rs.getRow()-1,row);
        }

        rs.close();
        stat.close();
        conn.close();
    }
    catch(InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | SQLException e)
    {
    }
}

Answer 3

With all factors put into consideration, with regard to code architecture using modular programming would work very well and with more simplicity in the code. Write a simple

getData() function @returns a 2D array of the data from the database.

pass this funtion to the constructor of the JTabel() constructor i.e

JTabel myTable = new JTable(getData(),columnsArray);

In this case the second argument: columnsArray is a single dimensional array that has the column names

String[] columns = {{"ID","DataOfBirth","Age","Grade","Marks","RegNumber"}};

pass the JTable object to a JScrollPane then you are done, right after adding the ScrollPane to the container ofcourse

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(myTable);

JFrame myFrame = new JFrame();
myFrame.add(scrollPane);

Here is a sample function getData() that queries the database for the data that later is passed on to the JTable

public String[][] getRecords() {
    try (Connection conect = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/online_students_registration", "root", "")) {
        Statement stm = conect.createStatement();
        String SELECT_QUERY = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM medicalrecords ;";
        ResultSet cursor = stm.executeQuery(SELECT_QUERY);
        while (cursor.next()) {
            rows = cursor.getInt("COUNT(*)");
            System.out.println("Table will have " + rows + " Rows");
        }
        System.err.println("Contacts row count is obtained!!");
        if (rows < 1) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "There is NO DATA");
            //contactsRowsCount = 1;
            //System.out.println("Table rows succefully reset to  " + contactsRowsCount + " Rows");
            dataValues = new String[1][8];
            //dataValues[1][5] = "No Values";

            for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
                for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
                    if (j == 0) {
                        dataValues[i][j] = "No Details Available";
                        System.out.println("" + dataValues);
                    } else {
                        dataValues[i][j] = "...";
                        System.out.println("Contacts" + dataValues[i][j]);
                    }
                }
            }

            System.out.println("Return statement is being executed on 0 rows ");
            //return doctoredDataValues;
        } else if (rows > 0) {

            System.out.println("obtain contacts code is being run under  " + rows + " Rows");
            dataValues = new String[rows][8];    //declare array for contacts table data
            System.out.println("[ Line 1584 ]The dataValues object for the JTable succefully set");

            String SELECT_QUERY_CONTACT = "SELECT * FROM medicalrecords; ";

            //OBTAIN CONTACTS FROM DB WITH REGARD TO CONTACT CATEGORY SPECIFIED
            ResultSet contactsTableCursor = stm.executeQuery(SELECT_QUERY_CONTACT);
            //use iterator-algorithm to insert values into the JTable
            for (int i = 0; contactsTableCursor.next() && i < rows; i++) {
                for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
                    dataValues[i][j] = contactsTableCursor.getString(j + 1);
                    System.out.println("Contacts" + dataValues[i][j]);
                }
            }
        }
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Medical Details Added Succefully!!");
    } catch (SQLException e) {

        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Unable to Obtain contacts:Server is Offline(LINE 1568)" + e.getMessage());
    }

    return dataValues;

Answer 5

I think the simplest way to build a model from an instance of ResultSet, could be as follows.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    // The Connection is obtained

    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from product_info");

    // It creates and displays the table
    JTable table = new JTable(buildTableModel(rs));

    // Closes the Connection

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new JScrollPane(table));

}

The method buildTableModel:

public static DefaultTableModel buildTableModel(ResultSet rs)
        throws SQLException {

    ResultSetMetaData metaData = rs.getMetaData();

    // names of columns
    Vector<String> columnNames = new Vector<String>();
    int columnCount = metaData.getColumnCount();
    for (int column = 1; column <= columnCount; column++) {
        columnNames.add(metaData.getColumnName(column));
    }

    // data of the table
    Vector<Vector<Object>> data = new Vector<Vector<Object>>();
    while (rs.next()) {
        Vector<Object> vector = new Vector<Object>();
        for (int columnIndex = 1; columnIndex <= columnCount; columnIndex++) {
            vector.add(rs.getObject(columnIndex));
        }
        data.add(vector);
    }

    return new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);

}

UPDATE

Do you like to use javax.swing.SwingWorker? Do you like to use the try-with-resources statement?

public class GUI extends JFrame {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    private final JTable table;
    private final DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();

    public GUI() throws HeadlessException {

        setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        table = new JTable(tableModel);
        add(new JScrollPane(table), BorderLayout.CENTER);

                    vector.add(rs.getObject(i));
                }
                data.add(vector);
            }

            tableModel.setDataVector(data, columnNames);
