Just do a search for IIS security issues on google, also check out Gartner's web site. There was an article about a month ago where Gartner actually recommended to stay away from IIS for shops that are not already running it ... Sunny Verghese [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 11/28/2001 11:03:37 PM

Thanks to everybody who replied. We already have a solution similar to this implemented (via triggers) which allows us to not re-query the databse before doing an update, since the fields we are interested in are spread across multiple tables, etc., etc. I also realize that there multiple ways

Mai, The only thing you have to do is to set your classpath correctly. That of course if you are installing thin drivers. If you are installing any other JDBC drivers (JDBC-OCI, etc., etc.) then you also need to make sure that you have Oracle client installed correctly, etc., etc. Hope this
