You can probably figure out what the tables should look like by examining the code and looking at the database access lines. Might be a lot of work though :)

oh someone just scared me saying your system is useless **** i wana die...well how hard it is to look at the code to see the db structures?

That would depend how nicely he structured his business classes / classes that represent a table in the DB.I don't think it's THAT hard.. dependant on the amount of classes.. There are Java tools that, in theory, can create a database based on your classes and links they have between eachother. It requires some extra lines for the mapping software but in the end it should be able to create a DB. For small stuff this may be the easiest. For larger amounts of classes. Well, you never know what the mapping software is going to give you.

I'm talking about software like hibernate. There are many others..
