I had a similar problem but found a fix for it. I assume you are using mm.mysql as
your jdbc driver:
create table Article (
articleId varchar(100) not null primary key,
churchId varchar(100),
userId varchar(100),
title varchar(100),
content longtext,
The whole point of n-tier distributed programming is to keep business logic outside of
the database layer.
Stored Procedures do have performance benefits, but it's much better from a design
perspective to keep all logic in the middle layer and leave the database as a dumb
persistence layer.
