Desktop Ticker

[deddleston]

Can someone give me some pointers on where to start.

I need to create a desktop ticker that is linked to MS SQL 2000.

I want to do this using Java, but being a web developer i have never done anything like this before, i don't know where to start.

Any ideas?

Cheers

1. Get a JDBC driver for M$-SQL.
2. Write a 'select' for get all values needed.
3. Create a thread to execute this select from time to time.
4. Create a big image (banner) from the resultset and scroll it to left or to right...
5. When need to refesh (thread) goto 4.

I made one on this basis (some years ago ;-)), but the data was read from text files...
