I don't think this is too complicated but I have no idea how to  
import this data into max/msp jitter.

If someone could point to the right object names, I would highly  
appreciate it.

MXJ, and a MySQL JDBC layer, and a chunk of Java and Jitter coding. I 

don't do a great deal of Jitter so I can't help with that off the top 

of my head (jit.gl.text is probably what you need).

Sounds like a nice little assignment. Have fun.

for questions like these you might want to check 

www.maxobjects.com/. look for the mysql object, there is already a

I have a sample patch that connects to a mysql database (a specific 

database..), but, the code might be useful:

then you could take the strings, dump them into a jitter string 

matrix (jit.str.xxxxxx) and then to a jit.lcd for pixel text or
