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
