I had JDBC Drivers working about 3-4 months ago.. Even before i was testing DB2 Universal drivers...(check old threads). Didnt need any recomendation from anybody here.. Again.. i didnt complain!. My first question to the list on the thread was.... How many people have ODBC working? This is to get an idea of other developers experiences. Obviously nobody had any good experiences... Other than one of your friends...thats amazing. ODBC is just one problem.. whether it gets fixed or NOT.. i dont care. > Well, apparently it's not as difficult as you make it out to be. I have spend hours testing CFC's performance and some other new functionality... writing test modules/cases for every new thing i use CFMX(cause no one knows what works and doesnt). You mentioned putting WARNING NOTES on Product labels earlier, Yes, Most software's have a section for "KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS". Go download the J2EE bundle, you can find some there under the heading Release Notes\Known Bugs. This saves developers a lot of time and effort. Obviously...it only saves time for the curious developer.. perhaps in your case, if it works and doenst throw an error..everything is perfect.
