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?"

Why not use PostgreSQL?

Firebird SQL

[SirChris]

Thats nice. I still don't know why everyone isn't using Firebird SQL though.

There needs to be someway of doing online back ups of MySQL with out spending money.

So, the problem is that the software that you've paid nothing for doesn't have enough features?

Seriously, what makes you think that you're entitled to anything if you're not willing to pay for it?

No.

[DAldredge]

The problem is that PostgreSQL already supports this feature and if MySql wishes to remain somewhat compeative with PostgreSQL then they should offer it.

It also bothers me that people who back MySQL 'forget' to mention this little fact when they talk about the new MySQL table types.

I completely agree. Java is overkill for this, and IMO not as stable or reliable as other alternatives.

Yeah, fuck paying for a feature that took a lot of work to implement and that you want badly. The nerve of those assholes, charging money for their work.

A real man would other get off his ass and code it himself, or support the damn developers who do. Note "Bitch on /." is not listed. Free software is turning the world into a bunch of whining ingrates.
