>Hi,
> I have an application that I decided to make as a JAVA applet, but I was wondering how to make a connection to a database (SQL in this case) using an ODBC connection, local to the server hosting the web site. I guess it's pretty much like any other langage like ASP (with a connection, a recordset and sometime a command ADODB object), but there end my knowledge of it.
>Anybody know a good web site where I could get the basis of it. I am pretty experienced in JAVA itself, it's the database component that I miss.
