MS Access can be used with any database that has an ODBC driver ODBC is a far cry from “working smoothly with” the databaseserver. Why is ODBC significantly worse than JDBC? I don't think that claim was ever made, ODBC seems to be a one size fits Microsoft solution. I haven't looked at JDBC, hopefully it's not designed around compatibility with a single vendor. |
that Sun did not bother to provide different exception classes to signal
certain error classes cleanly (connection related errors, SQL syntax
errors, locking errors etc.). Also, not all vendors implement the meta
data API properly - but that's more an issue of driver implementations
than of JDBC.

I'd love to hear about the experiences of those who have used both OpenOffice Base and Microsoft Access. I'm somewhat familiar with MS Access, but have never tried Base. For an MS Access user, is there any chance of warming up to Base? The reason for my interest is the limited / expensive availability of MS Access. Anyhow i was not very happy with a try to use Base together with a MySQL |
