You can usually find several JDBC drivers to choose from for any database nowadays. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jdbc.html for how what type numbers mean and why you would look for a given type of JDBC driver. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jdbcvendors.html -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com Capitalism has spurred the competition that makes CPUs faster and faster each year, but the focus on money makes software manufacturers do some peculiar things like deliberately leaving bugs and deficiencies in the software so they can soak the customers for upgrades later. Whether software is easy to use, or never loses data, when the company has a near monopoly, is almost irrelevant to profits, and therefore ignored. The manufacturer focuses on cheap gimicks like dancing paper clips to dazzle naive first-time buyers. The needs of existing experienced users are almost irrelevant. I see software rental as the best remedy.
