SQLBeans are some Java 1.1, jdbc1-Beans that simplify the creation of database applications. These beans are similar to the database components known from Delphi. I used them with VisualAge, which is available for free from http://www.ibm.com for Linux, Windows and some other systems.

Here is a screenshot that shows how these beans can be used with VisualAge:

And this is the running application with some data:

In this application you can select an examination with the JComboBox at the bottom of the window. This sets a new SQL-query for SQLDataSource1. By changing this query all components attached to SQLDataSource1 are informed that they need to refresh themselves. As you see in the screenshot, there is a SQLTableModel attached. This reads the new data, which is displayed in the JTable. I hope the rest of the screenshot is self explaining.
