Though this is not directly related to EJB, I found it pertinent, so please
bear with me.
We have been using a Type-4 JDBC driver for our application (that uses swing
etc). Now when we are trying to move to a web-based application using
Servlets + EJB, we figured we could as well use type-1 driver (jdbc-odbc),
if only to test some of our code. Yes, we are on NT4.0.
But we see plenty of differences in terms of actual implementation. What I
mean is the code that was working smmothly with the other driver needs to be
tinkered with to make it work here.
e.g.:
if I have a query that goes ... "select a,b, from tablex"
(using jdbc-odbc bridge driver),
a) I am forced to 'get' the columns in the same order as in the query, a
first and then b.
b) the odbc- layer is case sensitive.  (column names)
c) there seems to be some difference in the way a stored proc is called.

Are we expected to live with one 'driver' ? I always dreamt that changing
the driver should not result in changes at the code level...
