About JMDB
Why JMDB?
We both authors are movie enthusiastics and had this idea of a simple and quick movie database program that runs without connection to the internet on a stand-alone PC. We preferred Java because of it's platform independence and thought it would be a useful language for this.
Features
- uses the worlds biggest movie database available
- easy access to this information
- speed: searching of movies will take about only 7 seconds, displaying complete information on one of them (~25 db tables) another 7 seconds (tested with Windows client and a linux server in a LAN)
- ability to make every possible combination of search requests
- mostly platform indepent, runs on Linux, any Unix, Windows, OS/2
- the produced MySQL database can be accessed by other programs that can use MySQL
Planned Features for future releases
- using of threads for searches and database converter for better feedback when waiting for the SQL server and for making multiple searches in parallel
- drag & drop for the expert result window (does anybody know how to do this?)
