load image from MS access to gui JFrame (jdbc)

[sophia garg]

hello to all!!!
i am a fresher in java.so hope you all will be corporative with me.i
am creating an employee database using gui,,jdbc & ms access.so i am
able to store all employees information like salary,name,date of
birth,etc in access by entering data in my frame & also do the vice
versa(i.e. load data from the access &show it on frame).The only thing
i.e. bothering me is that i am not able to load and display employee's
images from the access to the JFrame.i have stored images in the
access database using ole datatype.but i dont know the code that i
should write in my program to load these images into JFrame.

any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
sophia

That would be a mistake. There is no JDBC driver for MS Access, and
plenty of pure Java alternatives, that can be embedded (no extra
installation for the customer).

OLE <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding> means
that not the actual picture is embedded, but a link.

You'd better use a BLOB
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_large_object> field.

Also, did you have a specific question?

Really?

<http://developers.sun.com/product/jdbc/drivers> lists 23 different JDBC
drivers supporting MS Access.

Allright, I have been corrected. It's still a bad idea (TM). <g>
