Project Report

Student Management System

1. Introduction
The Student Management System is a console-based Java application that allows users to
perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on student records stored in
a MySQL database. This project demonstrates how Java interacts with a relational database
using JDBC. The application is simple and user-friendly, designed to help educational
institutions efficiently manage student data.

2. Objectives
• To create a robust system for managing student information.

• To demonstrate the integration of Java with MySQL through JDBC.

• To practice structured programming using Java’s standard libraries.

• To implement CRUD functionality in a console-based interface.

3. Tools and Technologies Used


• Programming Language: Java (JDK 8 or later)

• Database: MySQL

• Database Connectivity: MySQL Connector/J (JDBC Driver)

• Integrated Development Environment (IDE): IntelliJ IDEA/Eclipse/NetBeans

• Operating System: Windows/Linux/Mac

4. System Design

4.1 Database Design


The application uses a single MySQL table:

Table Name: students


| Column Name | Data Type | Constraint |
|-------------|-------------|---------------------|
| id | INT | PRIMARY KEY |
| name | VARCHAR(50) | NOT NULL |
| age | INT | |
| class | VARCHAR(20) | |
4.2 System Architecture
• Console Interface: Users interact with the system through a command-line interface. Input
is captured using Scanner.

• JDBC Integration: Establishes a connection to the MySQL database and executes SQL
queries using PreparedStatement and Statement.

• Database: Stores student information persistently and ensures data integrity through
primary key constraints.

5. Features
• Add Student: Insert a new student record into the database.

• View All Students: Retrieve and display all student records.

• Update Student: Modify details of an existing student (e.g., age, class).

• Delete Student: Remove a student record using their ID.

6. Implementation

6.1 Database Setup


1. Install and configure MySQL.
2. Create the database and table:
CREATE DATABASE StudentDB;

USE StudentDB;

CREATE TABLE students (


id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
age INT,
class VARCHAR(20)
);

6.2 Java Implementation


1. Add the MySQL Connector/J to the project.
2. Establish a connection to the database using JDBC:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/StudentDB", "root", "password");
3. Use PreparedStatement for executing SQL queries.
6.3 CRUD Operations

Add Student

String query = "INSERT INTO students (id, name, age, class) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
pstmt.setInt(1, 1); // Student ID
pstmt.setString(2, "Alice"); // Name
pstmt.setInt(3, 15); // Age
pstmt.setString(4, "10th Grade"); // Class
pstmt.executeUpdate();
System.out.println("Student added successfully!");

View All Students

String query = "SELECT * FROM students";


Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println("ID: " + rs.getInt("id") +
", Name: " + rs.getString("name") +
", Age: " + rs.getInt("age") +
", Class: " + rs.getString("class"));
}

Update Student

String query = "UPDATE students SET age = ? WHERE id = ?";


PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
pstmt.setInt(1, 16); // New Age
pstmt.setInt(2, 1); // Student ID
pstmt.executeUpdate();
System.out.println("Student updated successfully!");

Delete Student

String query = "DELETE FROM students WHERE id = ?";


PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
pstmt.setInt(1, 1); // Student ID
pstmt.executeUpdate();
System.out.println("Student deleted successfully!");

7. Results
• Successfully implemented CRUD operations for managing student records.
• Verified data persistence in the MySQL database.
• Demonstrated effective database connectivity using JDBC.

8. Challenges and Solutions

Challenges:
1. Handling SQL exceptions during database interactions.

2. Managing invalid user inputs from the console.

Solutions:
1. Used try-catch blocks to handle exceptions gracefully.

2. Added input validation for user-provided data.

9. Future Enhancements
• Search Functionality: Allow users to search for students by name or class.

• GUI Implementation: Upgrade the console interface to a graphical user interface using
JavaFX or Swing.

• Authentication: Add user login functionality for secure access.

• Export Data: Provide an option to export student data to a CSV or Excel file.

10. Conclusion
The Student Management System is a functional console-based application demonstrating
Java’s capability to interact with a relational database using JDBC. This project is a stepping
stone for understanding database connectivity and can be expanded further for more
complex functionalities.
