From February to July of last year I worked for a company where I
wrote C code that accessed a PostgreSQL database with SQL commands and
generated the output my supervisor wanted.

    Now I'm working for a different company that doesn't have a C
compiler and doesn't really want me writing C code.  The company does
have a Java compiler, and think Java is the better route to maintain-
able code.  I'm still working with databases, and as I understand it I
can use the Java ODBC to generate SQL queries to get the information
my colleagues are looking for.

    Does anybody on this newsgroup know how I would go about using
Java this way?  Is there any documentation on how to use the ODBC?
I've coded with Java before; in fact I have about five years of expe-
rience with Java; but I've never done anything with SQL with it.
