Interbase, JDBC drivers, type 3, type 4

[raghav...@gmail.com]

Hello *,

I have a Java application that needs to connect to two different
version of IB Server. Unfortunately, the IB Servers version we use
(6.X and and 7.X) require type 3 and type 4 JDBC drivers. I understand
type 3 and type 4 are orthogonal, and backward compatibility not
applicable.

Is it possible for a Java Application running as a single OS process
to connect to IB Server using both type 3 and type 4 drivers? Perhaps
there is an adapter from type 4 to type 3 JDBC driver?

Thanks in advance,
Raghav
