Compiling MySQL jdbc drivers

I don't know how to do it dynamically. I use
libcom-mysql-jdbc-3-1-nightly-20030316.a and link it into the
executable. Good luck with the .so/.dll approach. Let me know if that
works as well.

Up to 2003年03月16日 the connector contains an ugly bug, that prevents
native compilation. I sincerely doubt that it even works with bytecode;
but I haven't tried though...

Yep. I've recovered an email exchange from the mysql mailing list that
said that someone, whose name I can't remember, checked in the hotfix in
CVS at some point.

I'll attach them to this mail, since it's a minimally sized tarball. In
order to show my compassion with windows-only users, I've packed them
into a zip file.

Good idea.
The changes to the vanilla sources only disable SSL; and cut short yet
an otherwise annoying series of dependencies:
com-mysql-jdbc-3-1-nightly-20030316/src/com/mysql/jdbc/MysqlIO.java:716
://X javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory sslFact =
(javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory) javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory

this.mysqlConnection).startHandshake();
