Wow.

I am NOT impressed.

Not even PostGreSQL properly supports the JDBC2 interface.  I think it's
because they're trying to do magic under the covers by using the old JDBC1
syntax, but if that's what they're trying to do, it ain't working.

Okay, maybe I'll try MySQL a little later.  I'm kind of burnt now after
bending my brain around this problem for an entire day.  But it's a pretty
sad state of affairs for the Open Source Community when the only JDBC driver
that actually works is IBM's (JT400 supports JDBC2 quite nicely, thank you).
