Does anyone know an Internet resource that really details the syntax of
standard SQL, preferably with a JDBC focus and in human readable format. :-)
Thanks,

Subject: Re: jsp and NT
First and foremost, make sure that your development is
standards based and
you can pretty much switch your environment at will. We
currently run NT
because that is the environment that our systems people
prefer. As
developers we are pretty neutral as long as the system is
reliable.
We were using Websphere 2.0x as our app server and IIS for
our web server in
our production environment but we recently switched to the
Resin app server
and IIS so that we could upgrade to JSP 1.x. We could easily
switch to Unix
and Apache and a different app server if it ever becomes
necessary.
We run 100% Java for our business logic and use JSP & HTML
for presentation
layer. There is nothing NT specific about what we do. We use
MS-SQL and JDBC
for our database connectivity, but again we are totally
standards based and
avoid anything platform specific like stored procedures--we
also run under
Oracle with the same business logic code.
So my conclusion, be careful about the technologies that you
use for your
server environment and you won't get locked into any vendor.
Then religious
questions like NT vs. Unix or Oracle vs. MS become purely
academic. You get
to choose what works best and have the ability to switch if
something better
comes along. Avoid proprietary environments like ASP unless
you really don't
care if you are tied to Microsoft. Make sure that you use as
much standard
SQL as possible and not Oracle's PL-SQL unless you want to
be tied to
Oracle.
Hope this helps.

Subject: jsp and NT
Changing the subject a little, what is your feeling about
JSP on NT?
Most of the Java people I know are hard core unix people,
and they
give me dire but vague warnings about mixing MS with Java.
Right now I have a production ASP site that I'd like to port
to JSP
and Unix. If I could rewrite it a little bit at a time, and
keep
everything on the same server, it would be a lot easier than
rebuilding the whole thing at once then flipping the switch.
Once the
site was all JSP, I could do whatever I wanted with it.
