Re: preparedstatement and metadata

[Adam Hardy]

Ah, sorry. I have no idea why I dowloaded v2.0.14. I must have been half 
asleep.

OK, so now with 4.1.0 and 3.0.7-stable I get the FeatureNotImplemented 
exception. Guess I'll have to wait, huh?

For your info,  I tried connector-j 3.1.0 alpha and I couldn't even 
connect. Tried 3 times and died.

java.sql.SQLException: Server connection failure during transaction.
Attemtped reconnect 3 times. Giving up.
         at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.createNewIO(Connection.java:1702)
         at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.<init>(Connection.java:524)
         at com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.connect(Driver.java:359)

Because I'm anal, I would like to point out that 'Attemtped' is actually 
spelt Attempted. Dyslexia rules, KO?

This is on linux 2.4.20 with redhat.

Later,
Adam
