Welcome to the JServ world, and with no further delay i will continue into
the matter of JDBC and MySQL / Java.
I'm using JDBC to interface with my MySQL database [all on a linux rh 6.2
machine]. No problems.
Since I'm not really a Java expert, I won't try to define JDBC, but to me it
seems to be a piece of middleware much like Perl's DBI::DBD modules are.
They connect you to the db (if there are drivers...) and provide some common
functionality. Much like ODBC i guess.
The JDBC/MySQL connection works fine for me. It's not hard to work with but
there isn't that much functionality inside it. But, what the driver lacks
can be made up for in Java..
Regards,
Christopher.
