First of all, you are most likely looking for JDBC drivers, not ODBC, no? And, no, SUN doesn't write them, or have other ppl do it...as far as I'm aware, they designed the spec for interactivity between RDBMSs and Java, but the individual 'layers' are done by third-parties... I can't help you with MySQL though, as I use PostgreSQL, and we have JDBC drivers included as part of the distribution... Marc G.
