"Microsoft adds Java support to database
Microsoft is planning to make available software for linking Java
programs to its database software. The Redmond, Wash., behemoth said
Tuesday that it will sell software that allows Java programs to connect
to data housed in Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 database. Microsoft is
licensing the software, called a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
driver, from software maker Merant and re-branding it under the
Microsoft name."


Isn't that a laugh. Microsoft supporting a non standard connection
method... I thought that asp was a nice secure protocol for connecting
web applications to SQL server =:-D
