Jozic,

"source" is a command built-in to the "mysql" command-line client. Other clients such as JDBC, ODBC, Perl, PHP and .Net do not have the capability since they for the most part just pass your query text to the server. You will have to write something similar yourself in Java and use FileInputStream to read the file and send it to Statement.execute().
