MySQL Gets Functions in Java

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?"

    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A 140-pound rapist met his match in an angry, 275-pound prostitute, police said.

    Adrian Castillo Ramirez allegedly tried to sexually assault a 24-year-old Bakersfield prostitute who was nearly twice his weight.

    But she took his knife, stripped him naked and paraded him in front of other prostitutes, after asking how many of them had ever been forced into sex at knifepoint. Then she tried to take him -- still naked -- to the police station, reports said.

    Castillo was charged with failing to register as a sex offender, and with committing forcible sex acts on the 24-year-old and on a 37-year-old woman in a previous incident. He was convicted of four counts of rape in 1988.

    Castillo pleaded innocent Wednesday, and is being held on $250,000 bail, police said.

    A Short History of the Photocopying and Dissemination of My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable

    I was required to write a personal statement when I submitted My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable for a grant a few years ago. The grant would have paid for printing the book. I didn't win the grant. You'll find the personal statement at the end of this historical statement. Historical? Yes. We are about to review the history of photocopying My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable.

    I needed to submit six copies of the comic for the grant, along with a cover letter, resume, price quote from a printer, and personal statement. I knew from experience that making six copies of the book at Kinko's would cost seven million dollars. (I made twenty copies of the book for friends at Christmas and Kinko's hijacked my reality with their high prices and spiral binding.) Since I didn't have much money, I asked a friend involved in the Boston zine community if there was a zine-friendly photocopy shop that might give a discount for homemade literary projects.

    My friend recommended World's Most Ass-Kicking Printers outside Harvard Square, across from the purple waterfall. (The name and identifying characteristics have been changed for this article -- I think some of the guys still work there.) I dropped off the originals, but chickened out at the last minute and didn't ask if they gave discounts for self-published material. A few days later I picked up the copies and paid the bill. It was still a better bargain than "Stinko's." I submitted the grant application and that was that.

    Days or weeks passed uneventfully. Then the world blossomed into a rainbow of possibility: I was approached by someone who said he enjoyed reading My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable. This flummoxed me because I had not given him a copy for Christmas as I did not know him. Was he perhaps on the review committee for the grant? No. And yet he had definitely read the book? The one with the karate guys yelling and cursing? Yes. After a little more prodding he admitted that his friend worked at the zine-friendly photocopy shop and had faxed him the entire book, page by page. (If I had asked Kinko's to fax the sixty-page book to someone, the cost would have been... remarkable. Listen, I can't stand Kinko's. Photocopy shops should not be privately owned; they should be state-run and publicly subsidized. A tax-paying citizen should be able to collate and laminate anything they want, for free. And if you don't vote, you should not be allowed access to America's photocopiers. I'd also like to say that Mail Boxes Etc. is a total scam. If you have to choose between sending your valuable package via Mail Boxes Etc. or leaving it on the corner with a note attached that says, "Please, somebody, take this to its destination," ALWAYS choose the latter.)

    So the book was being distributed via fax without my permission. This is called "file sharing." I asked the guy if he thought his photocopy friend would make me some copies of the book at a reduced rate -- seeing as how he was already engaged in unauthorized fax piracy on the high seas of clip-art comics. He thought this was reasonable. I called the guy at the photocopy shop and we worked out an arrangement whereby I would stop by the shop on Friday afternoons with a 12-pack of beer. I would leave the beer on top of the counter and he would kick a box of books under the counter. I would lug the books (actually, collated pages) home on the subway and staple them in my living room. That is how I learned the ancient art of bookbinding.

    At my zine friend's encouragement I started selling the books on consignment at a few local bookstores. I included a unique iron-on transfer with each book. The initial price was four dollars. Financially speaking, I didn't know what I was doing. But since my production cost was zero-dollars-plus-12-pack, I could afford not to understand how the publishing industry worked. No
