best way to connect to database

[jemminger]

Hi all,

I'm building an app using .jsp, and I'm wondering what's the best way to connect to a MS-SQL Server database? jdbc-odbc?

Thanks, =========================================================

A jdbc-odbc bridge is not really good because it is quite slow, and there is no need to get odbc involved.

Try a SQLServer jdbc driver (check out Sun's site for vendor links).

sedj,

yes, that's what I've heard...problem is most (all?) of the sqlserver jdbc drivers cost $$$...I don't have money to spend.

thanks,
Jeff

It says its a "Trial", but I couldn't see where it says how long for.

I'm probably wrong, but if you unjar he file, its only the classes you need ... dont see how they could feasibly embed some 'timeout' for the classes (could they ?!). Run it - see what happens down the line !
