Today, I posted the solution (a sample project) for the NetBeans 6.0/6.1 Inserts Updates Deletes tutorial using MySQL.  I'll be posting solutions for other databases on this page.

This tutorial is a JSF application that demonstrates basic CRUD (create, read, update delete) operations on a database.

One of the more interesting features of MySQL‘s JDBC driver is the fact that much of it the functionality it has it alterable or outright replacable by the end user without changing any of its code.

The network sockets can be replaced, the logging can be replaced, the usage advisor feature‘s reporting can be replaced, one can plug into connection lifecycle events (creation, destruction, autocommit state change, transaction boundaries, etc), and functionality can even be injected pre-query or post-query, all without changing a line of code in the driver itself.

I‘ll be showing how all of this works at the 2008 MySQL Conference. Some of the things I demonstrate will be for “fun“ (rewriting simple queries, supporting syntax other than SQL), other for “profit” (profiling, extrusion prevention, injecting bad behavior for system testing). …

Last week, we held a conference for leading financial and industry analysts from around the world. My keynote presentation is below - broken into two parts for ease of viewing. One analyst remarked, "but this is pretty much what you said last year."

I responded with, "That's the point."

Solaris Express, Developer Edition 1/08 or SXDE 1/08 as its affectionately called within Sun is being released on monday. There are certain new features that I think needs to be highlighted specially for the PostgreSQL community.

Well for starters the versions of PostgreSQL included in SXDE are PostgreSQL 8.1.10 and PostgreSQL 8.2.5. (Unfortunately not all security fixes made it to the release though). However the big news is the PostgreSQL servers which are pretty hidden now has an administration GUI. Yes pgAdmin III is now included in SXDE.

Also there are lot of new features which now are quite well integrated with PostgreSQL.

For example take …

Today we read the news that Sun is acquiring MySQL. As MySQL users and customers, it will take a bit more time for us to digest what to think of this, but for MySQL, it's certainly a good achievement, and I want to be among the first to congratulate Monty, Mårten and all other dedicated MySQL folk on this. I hope to hear soon about the sort of development and administration tools Sun is know for to reach also MySQL users, and if that turns out to be the path, then as customers we can happily welcome this event. I welcomed before Sun's open sourcing of Java, another key technology for us, and now we find our primary database solution to be under the same roof.

Update: wow, what a reaction from the stock market today. Sun paid $800M in cash plus …

We announced big news today - our preliminary results for our fiscal second quarter, and as importantly, that we're acquiring MySQL AB.

If you're interested in the financial details for the quarter, tune in to our conference call (see details on sun.com) today - we'll obviously have more to say as we release our formal results on January 24th.

But the biggest news of the day is... we're putting a billion dollars behind the M in LAMP. If you're an industry insider, you'll know what that means - we're acquiring MySQL AB, the company behind MySQL, the world's most popular open source database.

You'll recall I wrote about a customer event a few weeks ago, at which some of the …

2007 is almost over and what a year this has been for Wave2!

My programming preferences have gone full circle, from beginning the year playing snakes and ladders (Python), I spent the summer drinking coffee (Java) and finally settled down surrounded by Camel’s, Lama’s and Parrots (Perl). Bizarre but never dull!

Steady progress has been made all round and as always the Open Source community has proven a valuable resource. Not a day went by where I did not discover something new or think of a new idea that could be built using Open Source Software. I only wish I had more time in the day!.

My Christmas present came early this year in the form of a MySQL 5.1 Cluster DBA Certification Study Guide. I have been putting off the final MySQL certification while waiting for the book to arrive, and now it is in my hands the only thing preventing me from taking the …

This question seems to crop up again and again... In the words of one comment to my blog: "I've downloaded your External Language Stored Procedures package and am interested in trying out the JAVA part. Would appreciate if you could explain how use the downloaded stuff."Ok, on my download page, I have provided 2 different downloads which are automatically created from our source repository. A
