Re: Compile failure in CVS - JDBC3 - Addendum

Haakon,

To answer your other question, jdk1.4 is supported, jdbc3 is not. In
otherwords the code will run under jdk1.4 as long as you don't call any
of the jdbc3 specific methods.

I doubt that it is related to your connection problem. People tell me
that it runs under jdk1.4
