MySQL Gets Functions in Java

Posted by michael on from the we-love-you-krow dept.

Java Coward writes "Eric Herman and MySQL's Brian "Krow" Aker have released code to allow the DBMS MySQL to run Java natively inside of the database. The code allows users to write functions inside of the database that can be then used in SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE statements. So when will someone do Ruby?"

    Please, do not make this part of the main release. The last thing we need is lusers trying to run java from inside mysql.

    Bad enough that none of them know how to write queries properly so they bog down the servers.
