Both these data types have properties and methods etc. I aint in the business of teaching anyone code hacking. suffice to say a method is a way of doing things with a data object, and a property is information about that object such as the number of characters in the string etc.
I remember when I used to program on my Acorn Electron in Basic *cough* I used to use the string command, known as $, if I recall.
Inkey$ I think, a command to wait for a key to be pressed...

And I think everyone remembers the

10 Print "Whatever";
20 Goto 10

(The ; is there to make it not just scroll down the page but across it too.)

I'll shut up now!
sounds good

YAY!!! That was the first programming language i ever learned too! (I was one of two girls in my year who passed the logic test and were 'allowed' to take computing ) ... Oh, hang on.. that's after i wrote a stupidly breakable password script on my zx spectrum... Had to load it first just to run it (as in load it and tell the spectrum to run it)...

Ah, the heady days of youth...

Sorry Tim,

First rule of database programming - language data types are not necessarily the same specification as database ones. It's been a point to watch out for in SQL & VB programming for a long time.

But, now you know!

But it seems from his post that Java will always work with Oracle and MySQL? I dunno, I'm more into networks

Yeah now I know, I am new to MS stuff. so learning all the time. It is nice when some stuff like DateTime seems to co exist quite nicely though. Daft thing is that now I know I notice visual studio tellsme that the sqlDataType.Float is actually an instance of double. doh use the tools

The difference is that the DB interface stuff in Java takes care of that type of thing for you.

Tim,

The key is to look at the specifications for the datatypes between the SQL db and the Programming Language - as you've already ascertained. The problem mainly occurs with the number data types.

I'm not a C# man myself, have always been on the VB side. I don't know how these things are constructed in Java, but I would guess that it uses the same ADO interface that the others use. However, I couldn't even speculate what the practical considerations would be.
