Hi Stefan,

I just volunteered to rewrite the release notes for the Driver and I'm
working on that now. Watch this space for a first draft in a few days.

I struggled a little at first too. The stuff I used Interclient with worked
fine with this driver after changing the driver names and connection
parameters in the code.

I didn't have problems until I tried to use the built in connection pooling
and had difficulty finding info.

Roman's hint about looking at the client-java examples refers to
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/firebird/client-java/examples
/

This is in SourceForge's Firebird section. Look under cvs files, browse cvs
files to get there.

Download the short file DriverExample.java to see an example of what you are
doing.

Rick
