Hi Ajit,
I am not using Java, but VB on Win2K.
However, it works through ODBC.

I have changed the app of 6 machines,
moving SAPDB instances from 7.3.x to
7.4.x, and also upgraded ODBC, DBM
Gui and SQL Studio, because they are a
little bit improved.
For me it was a step forward, I think
ODBC was much improved. For example,
with this new version (7.4) MS Hierarchical
Flex grid works perfect, and
VB's Data View can now access all
the objects in SAP DB, including views
and stored procs. This was not possible
with ODBC 7.3 (at least for me).

Regarding DB creation, the System
Dev Space does not exist any more, so
drop those lines in your scripts.
Be carefull that there was also a bug in
7.4.3.10 in converting triggers when
MIGRATING a 7.3 instance to 7.4.x.
This seem to be fixed in 7.4.3.14
(this is the last download available, I
think).

the query terminator in 7.4?
Yes.
