CHAPTER 3: TASK PERFORMED

3.1 INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY

BACK-END DEVELOPMENT:

JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity. JDBC is a Java API to connect and execute the
query with the database. It is a specification from Sun Microsystems that provides a standard
abstraction(API or Protocol) for Java applications to communicate with various databases. It provides
the language with Java database connectivity standards. It is used to write programs required to access
databases. JDBC, along with the database driver, can access databases and spreadsheets. The
enterprise data stored in a relational database (RDB) can be accessed with the help of JDBC APIs.
Components of JDBC
There are generally four main components of JDBC through which it can interact with a database.
They are as mentioned below:
1. JDBC API: It provides various methods and interfaces for easy communication with the database.
It provides two packages as follows, which contain the java SE and Java EE platforms to exhibit
WORA(write once run anywhere) capabilities. The java.sql package contains interfaces and classes
of JDBC API.
2. JDBC Driver manager: It loads a database-specific driver in an application to establish a
connection with a database. It is used to make a database-specific call to the database to process the
user request.
3. JDBC Test suite: It is used to test the operation(such as insertion, deletion, updation) being
performed by JDBC Drivers.
4. JDBC-ODBC Bridge Drivers: It connects database drivers to the database. This bridge translates
the JDBC method call to the ODBC function call. It makes use of the sun.jdbc.odbc package which
includes a native library to access ODBC characteristics.

DATABASE:

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is widely used for
managing and organizing large volumes of data. Developed by MySQL AB, which was later acquired by
Sun Microsystems and then by Oracle Corporation, MySQL is known for its reliability, performance,
scalability, and ease of use. MySQL is a versatile and powerful database management system that is
favoured by developers and organizations for its performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. It plays
a vital role in the infrastructure of countless applications and services across industries.

3.2 FEASIBILITY STUDY

1. Market Analysis: Researched existing Hospital management systems to identify their

functionalities, strengths, and weaknesses. This helped you understand the needs of potential
users and any gaps in the market.
2. Technical Feasibility: Evaluated the available technologies (Java, MYSQL) to determine
if they were suitable for building the system. This included considering factors like scalability,
portability, and development time.
3. Economic Feasibility: Estimated the costs associated with developing and maintaining the
system. This may have involved considering software licenses, hardware requirements, and
ongoing maintenance needs.
4. Operational Feasibility: You assessed the resources required to run the system, such as
personnel with the necessary technical skills and established business processes for handling
appointments and user inquiries.

By conducting a thorough feasibility study, you ensured that your project was well-defined,
achievable with the available resources, and met a genuine user need.

HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING JAVA AND JDBC

3.3 TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES USED

JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) is a Java API that enables Java applications to interact with
databases. It acts as a bridge between Java programs and database systems, facilitating tasks such as
connecting to databases, sending queries, and retrieving results. JDBC achieves this by providing a
standard interface for Java applications to communicate with different types of databases, regardless of
the underlying database management system.
To use JDBC, developers first load and register the appropriate database driver for their database system.
Then, they establish a connection to the database using the Driver-Manager class, providing connection
parameters such as the database URL, username, and password. Once connected, developers can create
Statement or Prepared Statement objects to execute SQL queries and retrieve results.
JDBC performs database operations by sending SQL statements to the database server, where they are
parsed, optimized, and executed. Result sets returned by the database server are then retrieved and
processed within the Java application. JDBC handles tasks such as transaction management, error
handling, and resource cleanup, providing a seamless interaction between Java applications and
databases.
