2. Purpose
GUI for MySQL Enhanced is a software which can
be used by anyone with little to no knowledge of how to
write queries and perform other operations in MySQL.
This software is used to display the data selected from
the tables, filter them, insert new data into the tables
stored in the database, and create new tables.

3. The basic objective of the project
The main objective of the system is to enable a user work
with the databases and tables in a RDBMS even if he/she
doesn’t have any knowledge of SQL.
The project is aimed at accomplishing the following:
Display tables in a table form.
Limit the data shown by adding conditions.
Insert more data into the table.
Display data after applying conditions.
Create New Table.
Enable learning in student mode.

4. COMPONENTS OF THE
APPLICATIONComponents of Authorization Frame:
Username:

Database Password:

8. Delete Table:
To delete the table on which the query operations are
being performed.
Save Table:
To save the table form in .xls format.
Save Table to Database:

with a “string”.
Go Button:
Launch the query with WHERE condition, ready to
be displayed by pressing “Display data with condition”
button.

11. AND Button:
A new frame is launched, in which new query is
framed and is combined with the previous one with
AND operator.
OR Button:
A new frame is launched, in which new query is

16. Conclusion
This java based application is easy to use and flexible,
and really helps people understanding the basics of a
structural query language
. This application doesn’t offer variety of
functionalities to perform on database as of now, but
enough to give user without no programming
background ability to work on database.

17. Future
In future this project can be extended to cover other
functionalities like selecting different databases,
integration with other SQL languages, and
implementing other features of SQL like joints and
triggers.
