I understand. Well, it depends a lot on when 8.1 driver will be released as a
stable version (or how stable prereleases are for productional use). If a 8.1
JDBC-Driver release is planned for mid-2005, I'm okay. Otherwise it would be
imho a too long time to work with prereleases to get interval support.

...just my two cents...
