Brian, Thanks a lot for the links - somehow, I could not find anything from here: http://db.apache.org/commons/index.html I am simply looking for a library to connect to Oracle, (with connection pooling ability) that is easy to use but performs decently... thanks, Anil Philip EWS, Sprint (PCS) phone: (913) 794 5682 jabber id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If most of your data is tabular and you want to work with it that way, Jakarta commons-dbutils works pretty well. http://db.apache.org/ojb/ http://db.apache.org/torque/ http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbutils/ Both OJB and Torque use connection pooling -- I think commons-dbutils requires that you manage your own connections, I think. Outside of Apache: Hibernate, iBatis, TJDO, Cayenne, and Spring DAO all work pretty well. iBatis is particularly nice if you want O/R mapping and still want to be able to specify your own SQL. -Brian On Apr 20, 2004, at 5:45 PM, Philip, Anil [ITS] wrote: > > > Hi, > I am looking for an easy to use but efficient library class(es) to > connect to the database - especially with connection pooling.
