Candide:

I think that you might want to search for a copy of "Java Database Programming with JDBC", by Patel and Moss. It's a bit old, but I recall that it has a couple of chapters where they walk through the process of writing a JDBC driver for a very simple textfile database. It might give you a starting point for this process.

Hi,

I am writing a GIS in Java, and I'm working for 4-5 months with twz jdbc driver, which is by now very satisfying. I am about to test mm's driver in the coming days, and wish in the medium term to have more control about the connection with the database, for example, to get some functionalities of the JDBC 2.0 specs, some of which are very interesting for my purpose. I would also like to play a little bit with the JNDI extension. Hence, I would need some hints about the fundamentals of JDBC programming and the mySQL protocol. How do you create a socket to the server to get a connection id, how do you get the different kinds of data. Where in the JDBC API do you write these initial statements... I might not want to rewrite a driver entirely, though starting a new one from scratch until a certain point could be interesting. After that I would sure prefere to collaborate on someone else's code.

Thanks in advance
