Can anyone list the requirements (i.e. any books, tutorials, libraries etc) to build an application in Java, which could communicate with my MySQL Database which is running on web.
I am running an online webstore built in PHP and MySQL. I would like to build a Java Application through which I can (CRUD) Products, Categories, Orders etc.
My Database is already built in MySQL and all the data is present in my online site. So I only need to work on a GUI App which can access my Store’s data.
Here is an example application built in Delphi which acts as a Front End (Store Manager) for oscommerce shopping cart.
What technologies do I need for creating Windows GUI in java and Database Application to communicate with my Online Store’s Database. ?
I have found some tutorials:

Are the above tutorials enough?
UPDATE:
How about the following books:
1). JDBC Practical Guide for Java Programmers
2). JDBC API Tutorial and Reference, 3rd Edition
Would these be enough for a beginner?
For the database communication you’re going to need a JDBC driver for MySql.
Check out the official Sun JDBC tutorial for details on how to use this to access your database.
