Hi Sean, Using JPA and JavaDB you would have a database up and running in a very short while. Importing data you could do using a separate DSN in Windows. All you would then need to do is databinding.

Cox Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2007 10:19 AM To: ldsoss@lists.ldsoss.org Subject: [Ldsoss] (no subject) Manfred, Currently, as I mentioned, the database is a custom design. My application interfaces with the Individual's, Household's, and Companionship's via an object which I refer to as a "Superset". A Superset is an interface which is intended to be implemented to manage the access of data in different repositories. Currently I have two implementations; one to access the data in the CSV file, rather directly, and the other to access my custom database. Access to the custom database is handled via a third class/layer, which is simply called a Connection. The connection does all the file reading/writing and provides the most basic query functions to the higher level classes. Concerning the JPA, I'm not really personally familiar with it, which would currently be the only reason why I haven't used it thus far. Sean Cox | Nice start, | | What are you using? I hope an object oriented way of doing it?
