Okay, I was trying to get the behavior of the jdbc 1 to be like how I set up 
the native 1.  But, I can see your point and almost feel like I should make the 
native one do that instead.  And looking at others, I thought this was the 
approach. Thoughts?

I'm new to this.  So, what is your preference? If I do a git repo, do I fork it 
first.  I did a clone of you repo, so I've been getting the updates regularly 
with a pull.
