Thanks for the answers. Unfortunately, this is a college class and the set up is for MS Access. I hope to work on using MySQL or Cache, and study Java more on my own.

Hello,

I'm sure this or a similar question has probably been asked already, but I couldn't find it.

I am taking a class where we are using MS Access 2003 as the database, we are trying to determine the best language to use for our program (genealogy program). The question is if Java would be an appropriate language to use. While I think that in this case VB for apps or VB.NET would probably be the better choice (our other 2 choices), I was wondering if Java would be out of the question. The idea is to develop a stand alone program, not an Enterprise or SQL Server application.

Thanks in advance.
save to filename.csv that sends the information you want to Excel.
You will need to use classes111.zip, or if there is a recent update use classes12.zip. Don't forget to update your classpath / path

It isn't so much that it won't commit and rollback, but when I add these commands then the program gives me an SQL error stating that a token is wrong, or a statement in not correct. Forgot to write down the SQL error number.
If anyone knows where I can vind a listing of SQL error codes (mostly for Oracle, and DB/2 would be helpful) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

I am having a problem locating a file in AS400 using SQL if I try to use commit() and rollback(). Are these not accepted in AS400, and if not is there a better way to do this?
Thanks

What is the best way to get a program to display the correct time in the output? I am using java.util.Calendar, but at 12:24:40 it is displaying 0244. How do I correct this, or what is a better way to show the time?
Thanks

I am working on a project and need the ability to start and stop a program that will be running 24/7, in case of problems. The company that did the 1st part of the project used start() and stop() to control their program, but mine is quite a bit different from theirs (plus I am still a beginner programmer). They have the executable set up on a Solaris 7 server with start and stop programs to control everything. I need to have something similiar for what I'm doing. I have been able to get start() to work, but not stop(). Any suggestions? Is there a better way to handle this?
Thanks

I have been able to use a start method to start three different programs, have had to set up a separate stop() class for each program. Is there a way to start each one up without a separate stop class for each one?
Also, have not been able to use the stop() class. It just starts the program, but doesn't stop it. What might I have done wrong? I put:
public void start() {}
public void stop() {}
should I possibly reverse the order?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm not familiar with reading from a properties file with java.
I need to put info in a static file and have my program read from that file to make connections with a database. Can someone give me an idea how to read that data?
Thanks

I've checked all those sites already. They all seem to be geared toward Windows only, of course since I'm not very familiar with Solaris I may be missing something, and I need to know exactly how to add the driver to the Solaris CLASSPATH (/user/....) so that it will work on this system. I have not been able to find the correct settings.
Thank you
Robin
Hello, I'm working on a project that requires that the program I'm working on runs on a Solaris 7 server. I have written the program on Windows 2000 due to problems getting a driver for AS400 (DB2, or so I'm told) to work on the Solaris 7 box. Can anyone tell me if there is a driver available? If so, please direct me to that site, and the appropriate download/installation instructions
Thank you

Is Oracle going to continue support of the Java environments, or are there plans to move to .NET/C#? If it is moving away from Java, will there be anything in place to support Java programs already in place? Will present Java programs have to be rewritten?
