In general, if you are trying to get DB connections to work in a hybrid situation, and no native driver is behaving, try ODBC. It's crude, slow, and not pretty, but it should work. You can set it up so that you can go back later and dink around with drivers and re-compiling, but at least have a known working solution in the meantime. I don't do Java, so that's just general advice... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
