Hello, I started to write a JDBC driver for ARS and concluded that, to do a good job, it would take an awful lot of effort. It certainly wasn't a two day job given the size of the JDBC spec. I therefore came up with an alternative solution that involves our XML Gateway product and ARS queries directly to the database via a standard JDBC driver (one suitable for the database behind ARS).
The result is you can hit the gateway with SQL queries referring to ARS forms and fields, and you'll get an XML response that never went through the AR API. Hence, it's much, much, faster than you'll ever see running through the AR API.
