Another more philosophical question (more suitable on the jdbc list) is when
the Java 1.3 support should be limited (or perhaps discontinued altogether)
so that further development can exploit everything that 1.4 provides. After
all, it's been around for more than 2 years now. AFAIK, the early bugs
forcing you to cling on to the 1.3 have been fixed a long time ago. Doesn't
the current 3.0 driver make use of features from the Java 1.4 version of
java.sql already?

JDBC3 support implies JDK1.4. But the driver has the JDBC3 support separated out specifically so it's still possible to build under earlier JDKs.

We only recently dropped JDK1.1 support (!). I think there might be some resistance to dropping JDK1.2 / JDK1.3 support. Personally I target JDK1.4 so it doesn't affect me anyway, but..

What features of 1.4 were you thinking of exploiting?
