Sun Microsystems to buy MySQL

What does it mean for us, for Sun Microsystems to buy MySQL? The answer: BB+.

But for MySQL users, it's a blessing. It means (probably) formal driver supports, documentation supports and package distribution under Java JDK.

I use MySQL with a jdbc driver and from Java application, DB access is as easy as ever. Just like Java. Here is how to open a database connection.

   Class.forName(driver).newInstance();            
   connection = DriverManager.getConnection(openDBString+database,user,password);
   statement=connection.createStatement();

I say, Java is wonderful. How about this? To browse through the database and print out whatever satisfies the condition, the following does the job.

   ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM "+tableName+condition);
   ResultSetMetaData meta = rs.getMetaData();
   int nCol=meta.getColumnCount();
   while (rs.next())
           {
               String buf=template;
               for(int i=1;i<=nCol;i++)
                  {
                     String columnName=meta.getColumnName(i);
                     System.out.println(columnName,new String(rs.getBytes(i),"UTF8"));
                  }
           }               

I say, Java is wonderful.
