Re: JDK development kit

Warren,

By way of clarification:

JDK and J2SE aren't drivers, they're "development kits" (JDK = Java Development 
Kit; J2SE SDK = Jave 2 Platform, Standard Edition Software Development Kit).  If 
I have my history straight, JDK was the terminology for the kit pre-1.2 and then 
it changed to SDK.
JDBC is the driver, and it sounds like you're squared away with that now. :)

Regards,
Jim
