Hi all...

I'm about to start heavy development of an application with MySQL at the backend. However, I need some help deciding on what language to approach the project from.

What are the ACTUAL speed comparisons - JDBC vs MySQL++ ?? How is the speed of ODBC (Win vs Linux?)?

They are not directly comparable. However I would venture that JDBC is comparable to the C++ speed for most applications, as you will be waiting on I/O. In my opinion, there are more class libraries out there for doing web-based applications in Java, but more C++-based class libraries for doing thick-client type applications, so that might skew what the appropriate choice is.

Are there any existing base classes representing MySQL's Server / Database / Table / Field / Tuple? I need a solid object-oriented MySQL programming foundation before I start hacking at the project. I would rather not reinvent the wheel if such classes already exist.

These classes for the most part come built-in with JDBC.
