The only issue you may want to be aware of is that the pooling
data source never releases connections. So far, no one's mentioned that
as an issue (this is your chance!).

If you're running under JDK 1.4, you can use either the 7.3 beta 3
JDBC3 driver or the dev JDBC3 driver. If you're running under JDK 1.3 and
you want a JDBC2 driver, unfortunately, you need to build the JDBC2 driver
from CVS.
