Just FYI, ODBC specs is very similar to JDBC, except that ODBC is in C whereas JDBC is in java.

However, you're still required to handle database engine specific stuff in your code to use more advanced SQL features. ODBC seems to encapsulate all and everything, at the price of being huge. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
