Actually, there is a solaris ODBC driver, as I mentioned in my
previous post. Also, I'm very familiar with the native JDBC method of
doing things, the problem is as I mentioned that our database doesn't
expose a JDBC interface, only an ODBC interface... hence the problem.
Using ODBCTEST program that comes with the Solaris ODBC driver, I can
connect to the DSN without problems.

Thanks for your reply, though. Is anyone out there using the JdbcOdbc
bridge on Solaris?
