Are you sure you're using DB2 9 FP 3 or DB2 9.5? Hi Greg,

that error is generally due to an old version of DB2 being used. Are you sure you’re using DB2 9 FP 3 or DB2 9.5?

Same code works fine from a build.

I also agree that C#'s evolution is smoother and faster than that of Java, which is a language that I'm not fond of. What I don't agree with is the fact that Sun doesn't get Ruby. Since they embraced Ruby for whatever reason, they've come up with an excellent implementation of Ruby for JVM and an IDE that is now the most advanced Ruby IDE out there. Again, whatever their reasons, Sun has done a lot for the Ruby community, even if they did it their own way. I think that ironically they "get it" for Ruby and might not get it for Java itself. Finally, Ruby for scripting and for the Web, and C# 3.0 for rich client applications is a very good combination that I like myself.

Sun's just trying to brand someone else's kool-aid(tm). They're trying to jump on the bandwagon because their own language is currently threatened on its two major fronts: 1) in the Enterprise, by Microsoft C#, and 2) on the Web, by Ruby. Have fun on mobile, Java. Sun has invested millions in a crap IDE that nobody cares about (case in point: even after crediting them, you're still hoping for Eclipse). Meanwhile they've let their own language completely rot at the hands of the JCP. Generics, crap, not even typesafe(!). Annotations, horrible, no extension, stupid syntax, C# attributes are better. Autoboxing is incomplete, half baked and just poor. Enums are okay, but I've been doing just as well without a keyword alias for "class". Have you seen the proposals for closures? Meanwhile, where's the simple things like a multiline string? Parameter name accessibility by reflection? I've been programming in Java for 10 years, I'm done. Ruby or even Groovy[1] for web apps, C# for rich clients. So no, Sun doesn't even get their own language. [1] Yes the JVM is fine, I love it. It's the Java language I can't stand.
