So I'm in this database management class, right? And we're doing a semester-long project which entails the design, modeling, and implementation of a practical(read: a real-world) database.

We're going to be using MySQL and Java for the implementation, and therein lies my question: Where could I find a MySQL-related program thingy to screw around with before I actually have to implement this damn thing?

If you want to experience pain like you have never felt before, I'd refer you to Zaza and his work on EQEmu/WR.

1st off- any reasons you chose to use Java? I find .ASP a very easy to program and powerful front end for any SQL database- and a great second choice would be .PHP
Java is great and all, don't get me wrong, but there is alot of stuff you can do with a web implimentation quickly and easily that you need alot more time to do with a local program (or were you going to be using java through the web?)


2nd off- you can download mysql for free from www.mysql.com there is both a windows and a *nix setup, I would recomend the *nix if you already have a box, otherwise, windows works fine.

I think a good learning tool is a mysql based message board. You can learn alot of techniques by poping the hood on one of those puppies.

We have to use Java/MYSQL, so...*shrug*

Thanks for the link, Blindy.

A hash table in C is hard to beat as a quick and efficient way to store and retrieve data.

Double linked list with master control nodes... spanks the shit out of a hash table.

yes, but math geeks like implementing a hash table, wheras logical programmers prefer linked lists...

Linked list is just pointers in a hash table if memory serves.

If you ignore the fact that you don't need pointers to make a link list.

Then enlighten me. Explain what a linked list is in more gory detail.

Yeah well well my B+ tree kicks all y'all's asses hehehehesnort

And if the answer to how his LL doesn't have pointers is that "java doesn't use pointers"... I shall guffaw. Guffaw, you hear me.
