I can't see why you have to implement part of the connectivity in C, since Java has all the necessary facilities to communicate directly with the database engine through the sqlexec socket. Then the RMI version of JOI could be implemented on top of this pure java connectivity. -- Sveinn Sveinsson | mailto:svenni@strengur.is Strengur ltd Computer Consultants | http://www.strengur.is 'rm'la 7 | Phone: +354-550-9000 IS-108 Reykjavik | Fax: +354-550-9010 Iceland
