That is weird, maybe they were using an old version of the ODBC jar. This would drive me crazy seeing something like this.

This was all .NET, but I remember using the latest DLL on my local box, and everything was okay for the 2 years I worked on it.

One of the leads before she left said that they might have used a script to generate all those variables, but that many parameters in a stored proc is crazy.

I remember them making a big deal about code quality, but their definition of quality was that it had to be OOP. I didn't bother asking, but I'd be curious to know why they harped on things that weren't a big deal while shrugging off stuff like this.
