OK
I found a problem,

It seams that my ODBC version somehow has a glitch so i need to update it.
My Sybase ASA connection via JDBC:ODBC is OK but Microsoft based databases
are failing.
However is there a wayy in Jav ato do something like:

String validate = "SELECT count(*) FROM security WHERE username = '" +
userName +"'"
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
integer CountIt= stmt.execute(validate);

or do i have to use getUpdateCount()  and if Yes

would this be correct syntax?

String validate = "SELECT count(*) FROM security WHERE username = '" +
userName +"'"
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.execute(validate);
integer count = stmt.getUpdateCount();
if (count > 0) {
    Yipppppiiiii.
else
    buuu--hhhhhh
end if





Thanks guys.
