ODBC DSN Configuration
by Pankaj Jangid 24 Feb '02

24 Feb '02

Hi All, I have a java application which uses jdbc-odbc bridge. Now I have two options for deploying that application on a linux machine:- 1. Modify the source to use JDBC driver to connect to MSSQL server. 2. Configure ODBC DSN on linux machine. Which method is better ? I tried configuring ODBC DSN but couldn't succeed. One more doubt. If I modify the source to use JDBC driver (freetds-java) then is it sufficient to modify only Class.forName() statement ? regards -- Pankaj Jangid National Centre for Software Technology Yahoo-msnger : pankaj_jangid GPG Public Key : http://ashoka.ncst.ernet.in/~pankaj/gpg.txt

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Movies run slowly on Linux

VRAM is used to store a "snapshot" of your screen, and the size of a snapshot depends only on the resolution and color depth. The reason why GNOME taxes the display H/W is because the themes that use textured backgrounds or mouse-overs etc. require more processing but not necessarily more VRAM. Icons, panel etc. don't use up any more VRAM (they use system RAM and CPU, though). You can make GNOME run easy on the display by using plain Jane themes and lightweight WM's like TWM. Still, it's not going to affect system RAM requirements (so it's not light). It is not going to do much for movies either, because you still can't do anything about the H/W acceleration that you're missing. >I always thought that drivers made for a specific hardware were much better >than those made for a generic ones. Usually, but you can't generalize this as some specific models are different only in that they improve the internal logic w/o changing the interface, or add new features keeping the old ones in place. > >Mine: >Cyrix MII 300 (~233 MHz Pentium) >64 MB SDRAM >2MB Sis 6215 >800X600 8bit colors Ouch! that hurts :-& As an aside, today's CPU's are fast enough to play MPEGs at, say, 640x480x16, even without hardware acceleration. --- Tahir Hashmi (VSE, NCST) http://tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com mailme(a)tahirhashmi.scriptmania.com __________________________________ We, the rest of humanity, wish GNU luck and Godspeed
