RE: JDBC Problems

Casting really just tells the compiler that you know what
you are doing and it should just let you do it. If, however,
the object that you are assigning to a Connection is not really
a Connection, then you will get a ClassCastException. I
think you have just pushed your error to runtime instead of
compile time.

Indeed, the error I am getting is at compile time.
Your statement seems to work fine altough I have to make same changes to the
rest of the program.
It is strange, because I followed the book.
Even when Dave is able to compile it.
Message for Dave, the longshots did not work either.

Can you tell me why I have to put (Connection) in front of the
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection?
