Powershell Access to MySQL

Here's a simple script that demonstrates Powershell access to MySQL.

    
            [void][system.reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector Net 5.2.3\Binaries\.NET 2.0\MySQL.Data.dll") 
        
            $myconnection = New-Object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection 
        
            $myconnection.ConnectionString = "server=localhost;user id=root;password=password;database=mysql;pooling=false" 
        
            $myconnection.Open() 
        
            $mycommand = New-Object MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand 
        
            $mycommand.Connection = $myconnection 
        
            $mycommand.CommandText = "SHOW TABLES" 
        
            $myreader = $mycommand.ExecuteReader() 
        
            while($myreader.Read()){ $myreader.GetString(0) } 
        
            $myreader.Close()

Java Applications on Mac OS X

The link from this article is a great tutorial for getting Java applications to integrate with the Mac OS X toolbar and look like a native Mac application.

This is the quick summary in code. The main program looks something like this:

    
                import com.apple.mrj.*; 
            
                    public static void main(String[] args) { 
            
                        String lcOSName = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase(); 
            
                        boolean IS_MAC = lcOSName.startsWith("mac os x"); 
            
                        if (IS_MAC) { 
            
                            // take the menu bar off the jframe 
            
                            System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true"); 
            
                            // set the name of the application menu item 
            
                            System.setProperty("com.apple.mrj.application.apple.menu.about.name", "DesktopApp"); 
            
                            // set the look and feel 
            
                            try { 
            
                               UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); 
            
                            } catch (Exception e) {  // error processing here 
            
                            } 
            
                            MacOSXController macController = new MacOSXController(); 
            
                            MRJApplicationUtils.registerAboutHandler(macController); 
            
                            MRJApplicationUtils.registerPrefsHandler(macController); 
            
                            MRJApplicationUtils.registerQuitHandler(macController); 
            
                        } 
            
                        launch(DesktopApplication1.class, args); 
            
                    }

The class MacOSXController is a stub for integrating commands with the application drop down menu:

    
                import javax.swing.JOptionPane; 
            
                import com.apple.mrj.MRJAboutHandler; 
            
                import com.apple.mrj.MRJPrefsHandler; 
            
                import com.apple.mrj.MRJQuitHandler; 
            
                public class MacOSXController 
            
                implements MRJAboutHandler, MRJQuitHandler, MRJPrefsHandler 
            
                { 
            
                  public void handleAbout() 
            
                  { 
            
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, 
            
                                                  "about", 
            
                                                  "about", 
            
                                                  JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); 
            
                  } 
            
                  public void handlePrefs() throws IllegalStateException 
            
                  { 
            
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, 
            
                                                  "prefs", 
            
                                                  "prefs", 
            
                                                  JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); 
            
                  } 
            
                  public void handleQuit() throws IllegalStateException 
            
                  { 
            
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, 
            
                                                  "quit", 
            
                                                  "quit", 
            
                                                  JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE); 
            
                    // handle exit here 
            
                    // System.exit(0); 
            
                  } 
            
                }

Tweeting From .Net

After a few tries here is the Visual Basic code that will post to Twitter.

    
            Imports System  
        
            Imports System.Net  
        
            Imports System.Web  
        
            Imports System.IO  
        
            Public Class Twitter  
        
                Public Shared Function PostTweet(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal tweet As String) As String  
        
                    Try  
        
                        System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = False  
        
                        Dim bytes() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("status=" & tweet)  
        
                        Dim request As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml"), HttpWebRequest)  
        
                        request.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password)  
        
                        request.Method = "POST"  
        
                        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"  
        
                        request.ContentLength = bytes.Length  
        
                        Dim reqStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()  
        
                        reqStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)  
        
                        reqStream.Close()  
        
                        Dim response As HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse  
        
                        Dim reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream)  
        
                        Dim retValue As String = reader.ReadToEnd()  
        
                        reader.Close()  
        
                        Return ""  
        
                    Catch ex As Exception  
        
                        Return "error"  
        
                    End Try  
        
                End Function  
        
            End Class

To call:

    
            If String.IsNullOrEmpty(PostTweet("user", "password", "Here's my tweet...")) Then  
        
               ' Success  
        
            Else  
        
               ' Failure  
        
            End If
