Re: JDBC Drivers

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

JDBC drivers are usually specific to a particular database. I don't
know
if they have to follow a specific pattern. I use three databases
regularly,
mySql with mm.mysql, DB2/400 with the jtopen driver, and Oracle with
their thin or OCI driver. To get to SQL server we had to buy a driver
but
I have not had a need to use it. You should be able to save the driver

info with the database information in dbVisualizer so you only have to

look it up once.

Thanks David - is there no universal naming convention for the JDBC
drivers?
I want to load the PC oriented ones as well as the 400 stuff - or will
the
400 one do the job anyway?
