Let's say jave pulls down what we'll call an "EKDC", for "E"rk and "K"en's "D"iscussion "C"ursor. You execute some command like:

EKD EKD1 = connection.Execute("Select * from table");

         // note no statement object

Then perhaps:

EKD.Command("update this set some_Column = " + blah"); EKD.Push();

Just a bunch of junk code, but meant to demonstrate the use of SQL locally, what about that? Why invent a new format for Java?
