Yeah, you can count on Domino to come up with some wacky URLs. I didn't evaluate the JDBC stuff because it sounded flaky. It appears to be a bridge on top of the core API. I figured talking directly to the core API would result in fewer headaches in the long run.
You should try it out and see if it works for you. If the schema of the underlying database you're trying to get at is flat, the JDBC API would probably be appropriate. Many of the databases that ship with Domino (e.g. mail DB) tend to be hierarchical. It may be difficult to get at that data using JDBC.

Hi Some months ago I was documenting myself on Notes and I found a JDBC driver. Would be simpler to only write a custom JDBCStore, isn't it ? I was wanting to send you the url but I searched it on lotus.com or ibm.com http://www.lotus.com/developers/devbase.nsf/homedata/homejdbc and all others url were having problems. Notes has never been good for web publishing :-) JP Courson On Wed, 17 Oct 2001 01:12:38 -0500 "Shawn C. Dodd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I've done a little bit of Domino work.
