Re: JDBC Interface for Embedded Server ?

[Nigel Wetters]

sorry for delurking two weeks' late, but I only just realized I'd been
mentioned.

yes. bit of fun really, but I sorta thought (and stated quite arrogantly
on this list) that it would be much faster than mark's type IV driver. I
was mostly wrong. After I'd introduced the necessary synchronization,
the type II driver was the same speed as the type IV driver. I sorta
lost interest at that point.

slarty2 probably had the right idea when he suggested that to be any
faster, a lot of the driver should be written in C, whereas my efforts
were a very thin layer of C with a thick layer of java.

S2> However, neither of us got very far.

Unfortunately, I now have copious amounts of free time, so I'm going to
start playing around with this again. If you've got an itch to play
around with JNI, get in touch. Note that the effort is extremely
unlikely to produce a replacement for mark's work.
