// File: JTableDemo.java 
// Uses DataModel.java
//      create.sql (to create the MySQL database)
//
// Assumes that a MySQL database (documents) exists containing a user_list table
// The user_list table contains 4 columns: name, address, state, zip
//

/*
    This is an example on how to load/populate data from a database 
    (e.g mySQL, Oracle, Sybase) or other repository to a swing JTable.
    JTable is simply a view of the data.
    You may notice that we implemented AbstractTableModel to populate
    the data into the JTable.
