Questions and Answers

Question:
Design a database application with the information below
Create a form (registration form) in Java with the following fields: Reg number, Surname,
First name, middle name, matric number, dob, picture, and course.
Design a database with MySQL with the fields stated above, hence or otherwise connect the
frontend to the backend using the JDBC driver.
NB: you are to fill the respective field with information and the information entered should
be displayed on the MySQL Database.

Answer:
To create the required database application with the registration form in Java and connect it
to a MySQL database using JDBC, we will break the task into several parts:

Step 1: Set up MySQL Database

First, we need to create a MySQL database and a table to store the registration data.

Create Database and Table in MySQL

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS registration_db;

USE registration_db;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS student_registration (


reg_number VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
surname VARCHAR(50),
first_name VARCHAR(50),
middle_name VARCHAR(50),
matric_number VARCHAR(50),
dob DATE,
picture BLOB,
course VARCHAR(50)
);

Step 2: Frontend Registration Form in Java


You will need a Java GUI with the necessary fields and a button to submit the form. We will
use JDBC to connect the Java application to the MySQL database.

Java Program for Registration Form:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;

public class RegistrationForm extends JFrame {


// Define the form fields
private JTextField txtRegNumber, txtSurname, txtFirstName, txtMiddleName,
txtMatricNumber, txtCourse;
private JDateChooser txtDob; // Date picker for DOB
private JLabel lblPicture;
private JButton btnSubmit, btnUpload;
private byte[] pictureData;

// Constructor to set up the GUI components


public RegistrationForm() {
setTitle("Student Registration Form");
setSize(500, 600);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);

setLayout(new GridLayout(9, 2));

// Initialize components
txtRegNumber = new JTextField();
txtSurname = new JTextField();
txtFirstName = new JTextField();
txtMiddleName = new JTextField();
txtMatricNumber = new JTextField();
txtCourse = new JTextField();
txtDob = new JDateChooser();
lblPicture = new JLabel("No picture selected");
btnUpload = new JButton("Upload Picture");
btnSubmit = new JButton("Submit");

// Add components to the form


add(new JLabel("Reg Number:"));
add(txtRegNumber);
add(new JLabel("Surname:"));
add(txtSurname);
add(new JLabel("First Name:"));
add(txtFirstName);
add(new JLabel("Middle Name:"));
add(txtMiddleName);
add(new JLabel("Matric Number:"));
add(txtMatricNumber);
add(new JLabel("DOB:"));
add(txtDob);
add(new JLabel("Course:"));
add(txtCourse);
add(lblPicture);
add(btnUpload);
add(btnSubmit);

// Action listeners for buttons


btnUpload.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
int result = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null);
if (result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
lblPicture.setText(file.getName());
pictureData = new byte[(int) file.length()];
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
fis.read(pictureData);
fis.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
});

btnSubmit.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// Get user inputs
String regNumber = txtRegNumber.getText();
String surname = txtSurname.getText();
String firstName = txtFirstName.getText();
String middleName = txtMiddleName.getText();
String matricNumber = txtMatricNumber.getText();
java.util.Date dob = txtDob.getDate();
String course = txtCourse.getText();
Date sqlDob = new java.sql.Date(dob.getTime());

// Database connection and insert query


String dbURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/registration_db";
String dbUsername = "root"; // Your MySQL username
String dbPassword = ""; // Your MySQL password

try {
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, dbUsername,
dbPassword);
String query = "INSERT INTO student_registration (reg_number, surname,
first_name, middle_name, matric_number, dob, picture, course) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement pst = connection.prepareStatement(query);
pst.setString(1, regNumber);
pst.setString(2, surname);
pst.setString(3, firstName);
pst.setString(4, middleName);
pst.setString(5, matricNumber);
pst.setDate(6, sqlDob);
pst.setBytes(7, pictureData);
pst.setString(8, course);

// Execute the query


int rowsAffected = pst.executeUpdate();
if (rowsAffected > 0) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Registration Successful!");
} else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error in registration.");
}

connection.close();
} catch (SQLException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Database connection failed!");
}
}
});
}
// Main method to run the registration form
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new RegistrationForm().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
