  7. Re:Apparently somebody already did on MySQL Gets Functions in Java · · Score: 1

    that is not the question at hand. you have linked to a connector that allows ruby programs to access a mysql database.

    there is no built-in ruby interpreter in mysql such that you can write functions of mysql in ruby.

    not missing the point is your friend!

    Cox.net clearly states their bandwidth limits and their definition of "unlimited", which means:

    -always available, no dialing
    -no hourly usage limits
    -no tying up the phone line
    -no content restrictions

    looks like only one of these really applies to "unlimited"
