Re: JDBC 4 Compliance

I cannot speak to when the main driver will add JDBC 4.1 features. I can say that my alternate driver, the project I linked to previously, does adhere to JDBC 4.1 for the features it implements. You may want to try it out and see if it works for you as its only 2 glaring JDBC feature omissions are updatable result-sets and call statements.
