It seems like this is something that lots of people want to
accomplish. We're mostly interested in clients talking to a central
database, so linking in native methods is a pain, but at least possible
at the sever end. A better solution might be Java code that can talk
ODBC to one or more of the popular RDBMSs (the way ODBC works, I think
each one has to be a little different). Anyone working on this sort of
thing?

Subject: Third Party Library Loading
I am currently working on an applet that will allow
searching into a Sybase database. Originally I created the
applets using native methods to call the database library
calls and things were working ok. But I have been told that
this is not a solution because for anyone to use the applet I
will have to download the sybase library onto thier machine,
since it is dynamically loaded for them to use the applet. Is
this true? If so how do I get around it. It is impossible for
me to distribute database libraries and would like my search
commands to come from the client if possible.
Thanks for any help in advance.
