Hi AFAK jdbc 3.0 requires driver to support curly braces for escape sequences.
For example: {d yyy-mm-dd} {t hh:mm:ss} {ts yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.f...]} {oj outer-join} {fn scalar-function} Chapter 6.2 states that drivers must support escape syntax. Chapter 13.4 defines escape syntax. http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html Regards, Tõnu Põld ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
