Re: [CYGWIN] authentication

In response to your first question - I have no idea ! In my case, the client
side is on the same machine. Initially, I was using the resin MySQL driver
which didn't connect when I was using named pipes. I switched to Connector/J
from mysql.com and it then worked.

Just out of curiosity, what do they use to support that on the client
side? We were recently told that there is no pure-Java access to
Unix sockets (a/k/a named pipes), because it's not a portable OS feature.
Do they have a type 4 JDBC driver that handles this?
