Configuring MySQL JDBC Connector on Linux |
|
Written by Philip L Yuson
|
|
JDBC is a middleware used with the java programming language. It allows
you to connect to any database as long as the database has a JDBC
driver. JDBC also provides you limited database transparency. This
means that as long as you use standard SQL statements on your
java programs, you have a great chance that you can use this program
with very minor changes even if you changed your database.
This article assumes that you already have MySQL installed on your Linux
machine.
To use MySQL with your java programs, you need to download the MySQL
Connector-J from their website.
Download the tar.gz file and place it on a directory that you
can access. |

ITIL® and Your Organization |
|
Written by Philip L Yuson
|
Why ITIL- Traditional IT management is focused on resources and technology.
- Since technology changes rapidly, IT is continuously reorganizing to fit the organization to the technology.
- IT service management focuses on process.
- Processes are less likely to change despite improvements in technology. Processes also tend to be more results focused.
- ITIL re-focuses the IT organization to going back to serve the organization.
- It provides a common language that the customer and IT understands. This translates to less confusion and more effective communication.
