Thread: Need help calculating shortest paths with data extracted from the database

Hello Need help please
if any one have an idea that can help me I would be grateful
So i should create a web service wich will communicate with my android application .in my android app the client choose two point start and arrival this two point will be send to my web service to find the bus that has the shortest path between them. i have a probleme in web service side
I try to use Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest path between two points. to test the Dijkstra algorithm I must extract data from a mysql database and not put it right into my algorithm.but i dont Khnow how can i do it
in my database I have two table that contains the bus route (bus num), code (station id), pt_arret (station name). and another table which contains location code (id station), latitude and longitude, and distance (is the distance between a station and the station which precedes.
(im sorry for the mistacke of spelling because i don't speak english very fluently)
thanks in advance

my probleme that i have 1000 node so i cant not put them into my algo. when i try to test dijkstra algorithme i think that i should extract data from my data base .for exemple i dont think that is a good idea to do like that
addLane("Edge_0", 0, 1, 85);
addLane("Edge_1", 0, 2, 217);....
SVP i need help
thanks in advance
