Does anyone know where I can get documentation for using Java with MySQL in OSX?

[Partisan01]

google.. first hit for "mysql java"

http://www.developer.com/java/data/article.php/3417381

there's no difference in using the technology in OS X or Windows or Linux or anything. Java is platform independent that's the beauty.

I know, I've read most of that stuff, but it all talks about installing java and mysql and how to proceed from there. I was wondering if there was any information on using the versions that come preinstalled with OSX. I've dug into the terminal to get Java working, but I can't find any information on how to make it interact with the built-in mysql.

Ummm.....I don't think you're quite ready for what you're trying to do.

Really, it's no different than if you were doing on Linux/Solaris/Windows.

You going to use JDBC? Hibernate? EJB?

In other words, if you have to ask.....

Since when does MySQL come preinstalled with OS X? Did I miss something?

Like I said...if he has to ask.......

Ok folks....move along. Nothing to see here.
