| Hello WOFriends,
Ok, sorry, a few minutes after composing the prior message I had an epiphany.
I realized there is an "Apple" MySQLPlugin:
Then, I read:
"JDBCPlugIn is used to customize the JDBCAdaptor for a particular database and its JDBC driver. The JDBCPlugIn for a model can be specified in the model's connection dictionary. *****If it's left unspecified, the adaptor takes a guess.*****"
This tidbit was found at the top of this link:
The adaptor takes a guess! aha! it must guess that I'm using MySQL and it finds the Apple plugin for me, but where is this plugin?
com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.MySQLPlugIn
I took a guess delved into "javajdbcadaptor.jar". Low and behold, that is where all the Apple made plugins live.
It doesn't look TOO hard to make a new JDBC adaptor for a particular database. Seems like Apple has really thought things out well and provided a bunch of cookie cutter methods that simply need to be implemented. It will take some time, and testing, but looks very doable (not rocket science). I still get goose bumps every day that I use WebObjects :-)
Has anyone started (or finished) this task for Firebird?
