CSCI 511 LAB-4
Donald Matthews

This is a readme file that describes my design for LAB-4.


My project for Lab-4 is a product review application. Upon startup, the application
will connect to an access database and create a table called ProductReview. The
application UI will allow the user to enter product reviews for MP3 players and
query the table to see what reviews are entered. Upon application exit, the table
is removed from the database.

* How to start this application:
1) Copy lab4.zip to a machine with the Windows OS (MS Access JDBC/ODBC bridge required)
2) Extract lab4.jar and dmlab4.mdb to the same directory.
3) Start the app with "java -jar lab4.jar"

* How to add reviews:

1) Enter a reviewer name. (Each reviewer name can only enter one review for each product)
2) Select a Product ID.
3) Select a Product Rating.
4) Click Add Review

There should now be an entry in the productReview table. If an attempt is made to add
more than one review for the same Product and Reviwer an error message will be displayed.

* How to query the reviews:
1) Select a Product ID in the Get Reviews pane.
2) Click Get Data

The reviews entered for the Product ID chosen will be displayed in the table.
