I don't suppose that on the Tomcat site there is a Type 4 database
driver , which I have read is the preferred driver to get because it is
pure Java, is there instead of the 1 which I assume I can always get at
java.sun.com?

You can configure a tomcat datasource to get a
connection or you can load your database driver and
get a connection object.
The advantage with using tomcat datasource is that it
will handle connection pooling for you.
The tomcat docs explain how to define a datasource
(you have to do it in context.xml) , also you will
need the JDBC drivers for whatever database you are
connecting to.

Hi all. I am an admitted newbie when it comes to
using a database
connection for a servlet to access. So can someone
please tell me the
basics about how exactly I should go about doing
this?? I have been very
much "stumped" about how I should do this for quite
a long time now! I
just know that I should use 1 of 3 getConnection( )
methods to start to
do this and create a Connection object but little
else.
