Subject RE: Lack of interest in Firebird/JDBC combination? was FW: [ib-su pport] How to connect with SQL dialect 3 using interclient (JDBC)
Author Martijn Tonies
Hi,

you also need to install interserver v2.0 of course :) ... It's part of
InterClient - InterClient (the name is somewhat confusing) comes in two
parts: the client part and the server part...

Are you already subscribed to the firebird list for JDBC?

Herbert,
I downloaded the interclient 2.0 compiled with the JDK 1.3. But now, the
interserver (V1.60) is complaining of a incompatible direvers (see stack
trace at the end).

It seems to me that I also need a new version of interserver but I don't
know where to find it...

IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYBODY IN THE LIST:
I only got ONE response to my email about issues with JDBC (thanks
Herbert!). To me this is a strong indication of a lack of people using
Firebird with Java. This is a shame since I think this is where the
potential of firebird is: a robust, open-source, RDBMS with a robust, fast,
up-to-date, JDBC driver. I am willing to contribute to this effort (i.e.
building & maintaining an open-source JDBC driver for Firebird) if nobody
wants to lead it or join the firebird/JDBC group if there is one. I believe
RDBMS are almost commodities today and their functionality stable and well
known. This is a great opportunity for Firebird to establish as the leader
in the open source RDBMS. But I believe Firebird won't achieve a
leadership position without a good, solid, up-to-date, open source, JDBC
driver.
