I'll detail it more in this weeks entry... Well, after an email to the guy I’m doing this work for, he wants to spawn a Java app for each booking…

I don't think there's much of a case for the ResultSet object to be scrapped, but it is very convenient to work with an ORM and be able to have a List returned :) Hope you get it sorted! :D Ah I see!

Once I found out these and managed to find the JDBC driver, it has worked pretty well! I'm not sure I like the Object the database returns, the ResultSet Object would, in my opinion, be better being scrapped and just let the database return an 2D array of Objects...But since I've now written my function to do something similar, it doesn't matter too much :D The main problem last week was I was unsure how to find information about the database like version numbers, and access details (port number and database name for instance).

I wouldn't have suspected it too much of a problem with JDBC ? No problem – interested to hear about your gripes with Sybase; sounds nasty!

I wouldn’t have suspected it too much of a problem with JDBC ?

Would help keep all the code a bit more together too, rather than it spilling from database to application! Cheers Rob :D Yes, that would be a much better idea!

Could you not trigger your Java app from the database as a standalone job and have the app do the querying (you could even encapsulate the resultset in a stored proc) instead of the other way round? It could retrieve all the necessary information with one query, and from here it could email everyone it needs to based on the list of dated bookings retrieved - minimises DB interaction :) Rob Sounds complicated!
