Re: Alternative JDBC driver

Thanks for answer, we will try this driver, because it's more
promising, if we will found some bugs or suggestion, You will be
informed (I assume driver is stage that some ideas may be included
with no problem).

Btw, when I wanted to download driver from other station, I was saw
Beta 1 driver (and I got 404) - after few refreshes We got Beta 2.

Good luck! But, I think  it's unneeded. Just use apply your patches,
and make release, next day we will test it wit no doubt. If I will
have time, I could support this as well too, just for clear fun.
