@SPower - please drop the "lmgtfy" links, there's really no need for them. Beginners may not know what to search for, they may not know if the information they find is reputable or up to date, or they may simply be confused by different results recommending different approaches. @Yoman - If you really want to integrate with a MySQL database, you'll need to use JDBC along with what's called a particular "driver" to integrate with the database engine of your choice. You can then use the JDBC API to connect to the database and execute queries against it. Oracle have a pretty comprehensive guide here. However, it's not the easiest of things to get started with as a beginner, and if you're just getting to grips with programming you may want to start with another project first that's a bit easier!

It's both java: you can use the same imports. If you've downloaded a library, you must open it in greenfoot: http://www.greenfoot.org/doc/native_loader
