Re: RFC: Removal of support for JDBC1 drivers.

Just occurred to me...

If someone needs some sort of flagging for features not supported in JDBC1 
because they want to ensure portability or something we can still produce the 
JDBC1 driver but allowing Java 1.2 code to be used in it.  Or add some flagger 
facility.

Regards to all,
