Emmanuel, You were absolutely on the money! I installed the
jTDS and it's all good now. Microsoft's jdbc supports 3 right
now according to the documents that came with it. 

I am off to see what else I can break *grin* I am now going
to try out 'real' databases and raidb-2 (raid 5?) configurations.

cheers, I'm very sure I'll be bugging again soon.

Not that I know of except that it is not supported by Microsoft so if 
you have a problem they will probably say that's because you are not 
using their driver. Otherwise, it looks like jTDS supports all JDBC 3 
(http://jtds.sourceforge.net/features.html). Does the Microsoft driver 
support JDBC4 ?
