1. Go to the MySQL website and download the Java JDBC driver. Link Download the “JDBC Driver for MySQL (Connector/J)”
2. Create a new Project in Eclipse or Netbeans or anyother IDE that you might be using for Java.
3. Add the JDBC driver to the library path in your project properties window
4. Create or use an existing mysql database, with dummie data.
5. Download this mysql class. MySQLService.java
6. Create a simple class that initiate the MySQLService class and do a query.
7. Here is a guide of how to handle the returning value ResultSet of the doQuery


mysql.connect();
ResultSet result = mysql.doQuery("SELECT * FROM reports_categories");

while(result.next())
{
System.out.println(result.getObject("category_id").toString()+","
+result.getObject("category_name").toString());
}
result.close();
mysql.close();


8. The attached jva file MySQLService.java, the function doQuery only accepts SQL SELECT statements for now. I’ll update this article and the java file with other functions that allows for insertion and update of rows.

direction := 1;
END IF;
IF(enable = ‘1′) THEN – check if it is enable
cnt := cnt + direction;

IF(cnt = 89) THEN — if it reaches 89 begin countdown
direction := -1; — set direction to negative to count backwards
ELSIF(cnt = 67) THEN — if it reaches 67 begin counting up
direction := 1; — set direction to positive to count foward
END IF;
ELSE
cnt := cnt; – if the counter is disable just display the last value and stop counting
END IF; – if the counter is enable resume last counting
END IF;
count <= cnt; – out put the cnt to the count
END PROCESS;
END behavior;

In the end, I ordered a aluminum rotor-head and a anti-crash kit. I’ll be posting the result of my next fly.
