MySQL | Java -> How to get a String from a field : i've got a mysql question within java. I've got a mysql database with different tables. I would like for example to have a database called 'litebans' and a table called 'litebans_mutes'. Within that table there's a kinda-stringy thingy called reason and under that reason (let's say what's within reason) there's a string called 'This is a test'; how would i get the string 'This is a test' in java? 

Thanks!
