I believe there are JDBC drivers for the free open source version of InterBase; check out the Borland website for this. Also, MySQL probably has JDBC drivers, and there is a database called Mimer which also has them -- there is a free developer's license, and you can DL the entire thing from the internet at
It's abt. 12 MB, IIRC (version 9 has just been released, it might be larger). Runs nicely on my laptop. :-) And it has lots of features as well as 100% compliant ANSI-SQL language.
Also, check out Ocelot ... I don't know if they have JDBC, though.
