I totally agree with you about the complexity of the project. I've been
in the IT industry for a while, see many solutions out there and most of
them were, I have no other way to say it, crap. And I'm talking about
expensive commercial solutions. It's not a trivial subject to tackle,
just knowing JDBC and reflection is not enough, as most people would
think.
But this one project is backed by years of experience and a serious
development team.
