I came across C-JDBC yesterday, and it looks very interesting. I am
wondering what those who know far more than I about Java and Firebird
think of it.

This is a summary from their website (http://c-jdbc.objectweb.org/):

>>

C-JDBC is a database cluster middleware that allows any Java
application (standalone application, servlet or EJB container, ...)
to transparently access a cluster of databases through JDBC(tm).

You do not have to modify client applications, application servers or
database server software. You just have to ensure that all database
accesses are performed through JDBC.

C-JDBC provides a flexible architecture that allows you to achieve
scalability, high availability and failover with your database tiers.

It took me a couple of hours to understand the docs and get it set up
with Firebird and Jaybird.

If this would be more appropriate for a discussion on the IB
Architect list, please let me know.

Bernard
