Hi Tommy and everyone,

We are currently using ND5 and jConnect in our development environment. We have
found jConnect to be very easy to use and very easy to set up. Our biggest
pitfalls come in making sure that out paths are set up correctly, and once that
has been done properly the first time, it never has to be done again.

The only major problem we are experiencing with this setup is that we cannot get
stored procedures to return the cursor, return value, etc. properly. (Actually,
we can't get the cursor to return at all.) Many people have been experiencing
this problem; if you search the ND5 forums, you should be able to find most of
the threads discussing it. The procs *do* execute... it's just getting stuff
back that's problematic. So if you never need to get any information back from
your procs, or you don't use stored procedures, you're in good shape :) We had
to make the very difficult decision to proceed down a path that did not utilize
stored procs. Fortunately, we were able to use EJBs (a great benefit of ND5) to
encapsualte our data layer, so that if and when stored procedure functionality
becomes available, we will easily be able to change our code without having to
modify the UI at all.

If I can answer anymore questions for you, please let me know.

Hope that helps,
Beth

Subject:  [ND] ND4.1 on NT and Sybase/jConnect





Hi.  We're thinking of moving to ND5 and also using jConnect for our database
access.  Right now,
we're on ND 4.1.3 and using RDBMS.  I was just wondering if I could get some
replies from people as
to their experiences with jConnect.  What do you all think?  Comments
appreciated.

Thanks.
