Just make sure all the metadata functions are supported in your driver also. If MS SQL Server ( is it still really Sybase? ) uses TDS for communication still, the information needed to correctly code the metadata functions required by jdbc ( and village ) are not available ( look in the turbine mailing list for Sybase ) in the TDS stream. And so in the case of the JConnect jdbc drivers, those functions are not supported, thus the underlying jdbc classes of Turbine ( Village api ) is not supported and thus turbine ( as it stands ) cannot use Sybase (via Village). You can/have to reimplement the permissions to use your own db access classes, which is fairly easy and well designed into the turbine framework. This of course is for using the db to hold permissions and stuff, connection pooling I believe will work. > p.s.
