Is it possible to use the MM Driver with Java 1.2? I always seem to get an error stating that X class must be declared abstract. And I also checked the specs for 1.1 and for 1.2 and the MM Driver code seemed to match up with 1.1 only. Is there any way to use MM with 1.2?

Hi Atul

Yes you can use the mm JDBC driver (as I do), as long as you don't use the JDBC 2.0 features. Just use the java.sql.* package, without using the driver classes directly.

The mm and the twz drivers are both JDBC 1.1. JDK 1.2 contains JDBC 2.0, so you can't compile these drivers with it.

What do you mean by "without using the driver classes directly"? When I installed the MM drivers and downloaded a test program from: http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/java/staf2x/ex/jdbc/coffee-break/ and configured and ran it, I got over 100 errors stating that this class and that class and so on were not declared abstract. What I then did was checked the specs for certain function (i.e. getTimeStamp) and found that the arguments for the functions in 1.2 were different than the arguments in the identical functions in 1.1 - and MM matched with the 1.1 spec. Obviously, I am mistaken somewhere.

Could somebody possibly send me a code snippet so I could see exactly what was done?

And do you mean that I should I compile my program with Java 1.1's compiler? Or just not use JDBC 2.0 functions in my code and compile with Java 1.2's compiler?
