News:
Run java in MySQL. It allows you to write user defined functions in Java which can be used in select/insert/update statemenets.
Sample select: the function test.GreenBar is executed on column1 and column2 of the result set
SELECT: SELECT judf("test/GreenBar", COLUMN1, COLUMN2) FROM foo;
Java Code: all you have to do is to implement public static String exec(String[] args) which will return the new String.
package test;
public class GreenBar {
public static String exec(String[] args) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("Green bar (");
buf.append(args.length);
buf.append(") ");
for(int i = 0; i < args.length; i++){
buf.append(", ");
buf.append(args[i]);
}
return buf.toString();
}
// future interface?
public static byte[] exec(byte[][] args) {
return ("green bar " + new String(args[0])).getBytes();
}
}

11:15 Captive Microsoft Windows Driver (
,
,
,
)
Linux: this morning, I tried out the captive ntfs file system driver for Linux. Installation was easy (on Suse), as the project provides ready to install rpm's, deb packages and also compiled tar.gz files (and of course sources)
After installation, captive-install-acquire must to be execute. It does the following:
scan your local file system for drivers (cdfs.sys, fastfat.sys, ntfs.sys...)
allows you to manually specify paths to driver location
download latest drivers directly from MS (30 MB). At the end of the downlaod I got an error message (sub-directory no found), but it seems that all drivers have been downloaded.
How to use it:
mkdir /mnt/captive-LABEL_C
mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/captive-LABEL_C

10:46 Application Layer Packet Classifier for Linux 0.4.0 (
,
,
,
)
Linux:
many great improvements:
- connection tracking of FTP, IRC, etc...
- distinguish between child/parent connection (FTP, IRC-DCC..)
- patch together data from multiple packets
- 52 protocols (most file sharing tools, still missing, IMHO: VoIP), 8 file types (PDF, Ogg, rpm...) and 2 worms (Nimda, Code Red)
For those who don't now l7-filter: l7-filter is a packet classifier (and QoS) which can be used as rule in iptables (blocking, bandwidth restriction, . Rule sample: -m layer7 --l7proto [http|ftp|etc...]
Packets are recognized using regular expression patterns. Many protocols are supported, but the wanted list is still very long
Great, isn't it?
