I was recently "downsized" (Software Engineer with 20+ years experience) and while out beating the bushes some of my fellow "downsized" buddies found a little consulting opportunity and were kind enough to deal me in.
Nothing big, but every little bit helps.
I need to code a Java object which pokes some values in a MySql database.
I am a long time Mac user (way back to the Mac Plus) but never used it for development.
After a little investigation I decided that my Intel Core Duo iBook (10.4.8) using the Xcode (2.2.1) IDE should do the trick very nicely for what I need to do.
I have installed Xcode and downloaded and installed MySql so I believe I have most of the pieces I need to start with.
I am just not sure how to set things up in Xcode to work with MySql.
Do I need to download JDBC?
What kind of Java Project do I select in Xcode and what's the trick to configure it to work with a MySql database?
It doesn't need a user interface or any web functionality.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
