Sample database application

This chapter is centered on a real-world database application that any developer might create. It uses components from the JBCL and was created using the JBuilder design tools. Where necessary, the code generated by the design tools was modified to provide custom behavior. There are no tutorial steps on this application as it is intended to consolidate the individual "how to" topics in this book.

The completed files for this sample application are included in the samples\borland\samples\tutorial\dataset\dbsample directory of your JBuilder installation under the project name dbSample.jpr.

This application demonstrates the following functionality:

Sample international database application

Writing an international application involves additional complexities which impact application development, for example, using locales other than en_US (American English). For an example of an international database application that includes many common features of a database application in addition to support for multiple languages and locales, see the IntlDemo.jpr file in the samples\borland\samples\intl directory of your JBuilder installation.
