hello house i have been battling with this issue for quite some time and i will like people to help contribute.
I intend to develop a quiz application but i want to use a java derby database. I'm using the netbeans and its has been working quite well but the problem is if i want to connect to the database from my codes the database is not running.
this is what i need help on:
1a. how can i retrieve fields from the table and store it in a label, though i know of ResultSet interface which could be used to store whatever is retrieved from the table, but its not working if someone can just give me a working sample based on the java derby database.
1b. how can i iterate through the fields i have retrieved such that i can scroll through it in the label, just like in quizes.

2. Do i have to bundle the java derby database into the main jar file for it to be accessible to the main program, or it can just be in the distributable (dist) folder

I personally do not use Java DB but i also encountered such probs too, and solving it is quite simple.

First of all (introduction- Olamide)
You would need the Java DB driver, i do not know maybe you have it bundled with your IDE but you sha would need it.

Afterward you would have to specify that you project need to work on a JavaDB, just right click on your project then go to properties...

You should know that your ResultSet work as a List so... You can get your way around that by just going through some few materials...

Lastly Google is your friend

its already bundled with the Netbeans iam using, i can even log into the derby database, add the columns and tables. but the only is for me to access it from my codes but i will see to the google thing, if i can find my way around it. thanks.
