Re: driver source code indentation

Dave,

I agree with you, and it seems that much of the existing jdbc code is
formated that way.  But before starting a thread on what everybody
prefers as their java format, let me first ask the question:


Should the jdbc java code use the same formatting as the C code?

If the answer is yes, then we know what the format is going to be.  Else
we can have what I am sure will be a long religious battle on what style
would be best for the java code.

My personal vote is to stick with the same format as the C code.  While
personally I think a different format would be better, I don't think it
is worth the hassle, and I can live with the existing format.

thanks,
--Barry
