[Reactor For CF] JDBC Metadata

[Paul Kenney]

I have spent the last week or so going through all the archives, and there is very little (almost none) discussion of retrieving the database metadata via JDBC. My thinking is that right now, in order to add a new database type one has has to implement an ObjectDao class and a Convention class. It seems that if JDBC was used to retrieve the metadata, the need for a specific ObjectDao classes who's sole purpose is to get the metadata for each DB object might simply go away in favor of a single class.

The main problem I see at this point is getting a JDBC connection url based on a CF dsn value without too much trouble (or the password for the CF admin).

Any thoughts?

Thanks
