PHP and MySQL
Hey there,
I have never programmed in Java before, and am just wondering about the possibility of using JAVA to change values and perform actions relating to the data in a MySQL database. And also how easy it is to achieve... and then if it is easy, are there any resources I can look at to give me some ideas.
Thank you,
Ins0mniac!

Yes. It is called JDBC.

If you have never programmed in Java before it will NOT be easy.

Why did you put PHP in your subject line?
You can interact with SQL databases in Java using JDBC. You have to download some jar files specific to your database (e.g., for MySQL you use MysqlConnector).It's much more tedious in Java than it is in PHP, which is practically married to MySQL.

Lest anyone departs mistaken.
The Java database API is much, much, much, much, much better than PHP's.
