This project template already has a local database set up with some sample data for you to work with. You can use this sample data to find your way around Instant JChem. You can view the data in the grid or form views and can query and sort the data. To get started just open up the localdb connection node in the project and then double click one of the view icons (form or grid views) to open the view.
This contains a small subset (1,000 structures) from the NIH PubChem database imported into Instant JChem (Note: this data comes from an old version of PubChem). Current data can be obtained from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubchem/
This contains a small demo data set that is available for the Wombat database. It illustrates a data set containing relational data. For more details see WOMBAT page. This demo set contains sample views that illustrate features of IJC such as visualisation widgets and conditional formatting. Note that these features need a IJC Visualisation license when running with data sets of more than 350 rows (Wombat is less than this allowing the features to be demoed without limitations).
To import a file (e.g. a SD file) try choosing Import File... from the right click menu of the localdb database connection. This will open the import wizard which will guide you through the process of importing data into the Instant JChem database.
To create a new empty table choose New Data Tree and Xxx table (where Xxx is the type of table you want) from the right click menu of the localdb database connection.
To create a connection to a different database choose New Schema from the right click menu in an empty area of the project explorer. To connect to remote databases you will need an IJC license key. To enter license keys use the Help -> Licenses... menu.
Enjoy!
