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
