Hi Mark,

You are talking about

ResultSet.getDate(int columnIndex,Calendar cal)

and sundry right? I can't use that - access is buried down in the Jakarta DynaBeans, I just
get a "Timestamp" in the end, configured according to what the Connector thinks
its conversion Calendar and Timezone currently are.

As I wanted to have some possibility to *easily* and *globally* make the Connector use the
Timezone I want I ended up with Connector/J code that uses the additional 'conversionCalendar'
in the Connection URL, as described in the previous postings. As a bonus, Timezone conversion
code was made clearer, at the cost of slight increase of complexity of the setup procedure.

I don't know if you are prepared to spend some mind-share on the changes I have made, might be
of interest. Or has this all been changed in 3.1.4 anyway?

Best,

-- David
