java swings problem

hi i am developing a gui in java swings and i am getting my database displayed in jtable...
i have a textfield labeled CUSTID and my table also has its sec column as CUSTID (which is not a primary key)............i want that when i write a value in that textfield then, only those rows with that value of custid gets displayed in my jatable in my gui...
plz can anyone help me??

re: java swings problem

So if there is no text in your JTextField you'd have to use a sql statement like this:
"select * from yourtable", otherwise use a PreparedStatement like this one:
"select * from yourtable where CUSTID = ?" and fill in the ? parameter with the
value from obtained your JTextField. An ActionListener registered to that field
should start the job.

kind regards,

ps. btw, the name is 'Swing' not 'swings'
