Peter, 

I have no problem on my end.  I have 4 years expeience with Server Side
Java.  I want the most advanced JDBC driver/db combination.  The question I am
rasing is which JDBC drier is more robust and closer to the JDBC 2.0 speck. 
Once I have a solid driver, there is no problem writing code to use it here!

Do you know of any independent comparisons of the JDBC drivers for PostgresSQL
and mySQL?  I just got back from the Colorado Software Summit and feedback
there was mixed.
