Re: JDBC Thin driver

I have tried the latest thin driver that ships with 8.0.4 for NT, and jdk 1.2 (jdbc2.0) and *most* of it works. I am currently having problems with storing blobs into LONG RAW columns. - Error was: Invalid Hex number, which took me back some years ago when you had to use BINTOHEX and HEXTOBIN....

It seems that in jdbc2.0/jdk1.2, Sun have have changed the binding of the setBinaryStream() method.

BTW - We had a similar (BLOB) problem with using the Interbase JDBC driver against jdk1.2/jdbc2.0, & we upgraded the Interclient driver to one certified with jdk 1.2 and the problem went away.
