Hi... I'd like to minimize the amount of time I spend gathering up the
"parts" so if anybody has any suggestions I'd like to hear them.

I'm planning to write a simple applet to display database records. It's a
large database (in terms of number of rows) but it isn't complex. It only
has a couple of tables and the data is read-only.

It's been awhile since I developed in Java so I want to get the latest
tools. Am I correct in guessing I need to dl the J2SE 1.4.2 package? And
I'll need JDBC right? Is that included in the base package or do I download
that separately?

Due to limitations on the website I don't have SQL-Server or Oracle
available. I can easily configure it to use MS-Access. If there is an
alternative I'd like to hear about it. I might have MySQL available I'm
going to check. It seems that I need a JDBC driver for whichever database I
choose, is that right? I assume those aren't included in the standard
package and I have to hunt one down.

And regarding usage... the database obviously resides on the server and the
applet is downloaded to the client. The JDBC code is copied to the client
also right? And the JDBC driver also?

I've been looking around and I'll likely stumble upon the stuff I need but
if anybody knows of an applicable example (published on the web) I'd
appreciate a pointer.

Thanks,
Tom
