>>Are the Java examples in the release notes not adequate?

Rick, I think the documentation that comes with Jaybird should be
adequate to get most people off the ground. I have very little
experience with Java and it worked fine for me (far better than the
applet that comes with Interclient). I don't think there was
anything that caused the slightest problem.

However, I think that Ann's request should receive some attention.
We need to help more people to realise that Firebird is the best
choice of open source database. I spent many months evaluating the
open source databases - and was surprised to discover that the best
available did not have one of the highest profiles.
