Database Record or User Record?

[Ray Dawson]

The instructions page said I need to implement the interface DBAccess:

public interface DBAccess {
  // Reads a record from the file. Returns an array where each
  // element is a record value.
  public String [] readRecord(long recNo)
    throws RecordNotFoundException;

  ...
}

So I wanted to ask that does the term "Record" refers to the booking made by the customer or the list of contractors given in the .db file ??

You mentioned that you have the stand-alone version working, displaying records in the JTable, so how do you currently have it implemented?

Well, it refers to each entry in the .db file. Think that you are implementing an OO solution, so the term Room should fit better in this case.

You can find the answer in the name of the interface to implement.

Confused again!

Each entry means the list of contractors +- or the customers booking them goes +- ??

Confused also. Is this English?

Come on dude, don't make it harder as it is!

A record is 1 line from the data section from the database file, containing the details of a room or contractor (depending on your assignment)

By records I meant do we add or delete any contractors which was there in the .db file??

[Roel De Nijs]

Yes, you have to implement create and delete functionality to create new or delete existing contractor records.

Confused. How does this relate to your original question? Your original question was "So I wanted to ask that does the term "Record" refers to the booking made by the customer or the list of contractors given in the .db file ?? "
