DB-FX is a JavaFX-based application designed to manage and interact with a database system. It provides a user-friendly interface to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on various entities like books, authors, and publishers.

• CRUD Operations: Manage books, authors, and publishers with full create, read, update, and delete capabilities.
• Search and Filter: Advanced search and filtering options to easily navigate through the data.
• Data Validation: Ensures the integrity of the data entered into the database with comprehensive validation checks.
• Asynchronous Processing: Utilizes background tasks to maintain a responsive UI during database operations. The application leverages advanced thread management features to handle database transactions and UI updates efficiently, ensuring a smooth user experience.
• Thread Management: Incorporates advanced threading features to manage database connections and operations, preventing UI freezing and enhancing performance.
• Customizable UI: A flexible user interface that adapts to different data management needs.
