If you use JNI are you not locking yourself into a given DB implementation? And your application is hobbled with the JNI code too. You have to write, test, document, and debug your implementation. The JNI approach maybe a faster implementation. It's easier to find people that know JDBC than your homegrown system.

Hi Timber,

Wouldn't a "JNI code wrapped around an ODBC driver" _be_ a JDBC-ODBC bridge driver? A home-made one? Good luck, and much patience... Thomas.
