They are not directly comparable. However I would venture that JDBC is comparable to the C++ speed for most applications, as you will be waiting on I/O. In my opinion, there are more class libraries out there for doing web-based applications in Java, but more C++-based class libraries for doing thick-client type applications, so that might skew what the appropriate choice is. -Mark > Are there any existing base classes representing MySQL's Server / > Database / Table / Field / Tuple?

These classes for the most part come built-in with JDBC. -Mark
