Load data from MySQL database to Combo box Using Java

This tutorial is all about load data from MySQL database to Combo box using Java. This tutorial will teach you on how your programs load a specific row of data from MySQL database into your combo box element.

It is important that you add this feature to your program because there are some instances that your combo box display a list of information depending on the database data.

Load data from MySQL database to Combo box in Java Steps

1. Add/Create a new Form inside your java projects. In my case, I named my form using “LoadDataInCombobox”.

2. Design your form just look like the image below. All of the elements are located in your Netbeans tool pallets.

3. Copy the codes below and paste it into your program. The following codes are used in accessing the required libraries needed in this program.

[java]import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;[/java]

4. Create a new Method inside your class. In my case, I used “loadUserName” as my method name.

[java]public final void loadUserName(){

}[/java]

5. Insert the following codes below inside your new create method. The codes compose of MySQL statements needed in accessing the MySQL database.

[java]try {
String sql="SELECT * FROM userinfo";
pst=conn.prepareStatement(sql);
rs = pst.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
String fname = rs.getString("FirstName");
String lname = rs.getString("LastName");
String name = fname + " " + lname;
jComboBox1.addItem(name);
}
}catch(SQLException e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, e.getMessage());
}[/java]

6. Copy the name of your method and insert it inside your public method together with the “initComponents”. When the program is running, all of the statement inside the public class method will executed.

[java]public LoadDataInCombobox() {
initComponents();
conn = dbConnection.MyDbConnection();
loadUserName();
}[/java]

7. Run your program and the output should look like the image below.
