Folks,

We can't even get hold of a 1.1 JDK anymore.  And it is preventing us from using
the most basic stuff in the jdbc1 classes because they were introduced in 1.2.

I am proposing we drop support for Java SDK 1.1 and JDBC1 altogether and keep
only JDBC2 (for SDK 1.2 and SDK 1.3) and JDBC3 (for SDK 1.4).

Concerns?


P.S.: I even think support for 1.2 is not necessary.  Does anyone know of a
place where Java 1.2 is still being used?  They must have a Java that old and
still have a reasonably recent backend as the driver only support the last two
previous versions (will be 7.2+ in the 7.4 release).
