Just a quick note to say that the JDBC Expert Group (of which I'm unashamedly a part) will be having a Birds of a Feather session on Tuesday night at this year's JavaOne conference! Please drop by and let us know if you have any input on what we're considering and working on for the upcoming JDBC 4.1 features list! Below is the description of the BoF:
This BOF session brings together members of the JDBC Expert Group and other people interested in finding out more about the features being targeted for the JDBC 4.1 specification and its progress to date to discuss priorities and directions for work within the context of the JSR.
The JDBC 4.1 technology is being targeted for the Java Platform, Standard Edition 7 (Java SE 7 Platform).
I don't want to spoil anything for Lance, but we've got some really nice things to add to the spec for the next version to make JDBC Data Access better than ever.
