Centralized Database Management System

This project implements a Centralized Database Management System using Java Swing for the graphical user interface (GUI) and CSV files for data storage. The system allows administrators to register new users, view past records, and manage user profiles.

Features

Admin users can:
- Register new users, and
- View past records.

Getting Started

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/worthychukwuemeka/centralized-dbms.git

Open the project in your preferred Java IDE.

Usage

Run the WelcomeWindow class to start the application.
In the Welcome window, select an organization and click "Proceed."
In the Registration window, enter your login ID and password.
These are the data you can use to log in to access the CSV file data:
- johnpatrick, password1
- sarahgbenga, password2,
- fatimamusa, password3, and
- philipokocha, password4. Any data other than this entered to login will return an error.
If you're an admin, you will see additional options for managing users.
- Select "Register New User" to open the Registration form & add a new user to the DB.
- Select "View Past Records" to view a CSV database file with data of users registered on the system.
