RE: Preferred method to access databases from Servlets

[Timothy Sullivan <TSullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[>]  Hello,
        SQL and JDBC are complementary technologies.  It isn't an either or
situation.  A very common situation is to use SQL  via JDBC to communicate
with the AS/400 DB2. 

        The other way to communicate with your database is via the AS/400
Toolkit provided by IBM.  The positive: the toolkit is faster in certain
instances and may be more familiar to long time AS/400 programmers.  The
negative:  the toolkit ties you tightly to DB2 on the AS/400 and it is a lot
harder to find Java programmers that know and understand the toolkit.  Most
Java programmers for outside the AS/400 world will only be familiar with
JDBC.
