I want to build an application that connects to various databases, and extracts data.

Currently I can do this from unix with a ksh script, but I also want to connect to sybase next and potentially other databases as well.

I'm considering learning java and writing the app to connect via JDBC. (I can't ignore that write once run many times speil).

Are there any pro's or cons in doing this? Can anyone think of any alternatives?

Can anybody reccommned any crash course in JDBC docs? Received on Sun May 11 2003 - 19:15:11 CDT
