Free jdbc driver software for linux

SmallSQL is the ultimate Java Desktop SQL Database Engine with JDBC 3.0 API.
There are 2 solutions to start with SmallSQL DBMS
1.) From an existing Database
You can convert an existing Database with JDbConverter. This is an open source tool to convert a database from one DBMS to another DBMS via JDBC. You can download it and convert your existing JDBC database.
2.) Create a database with a GUI tool
We does not have such tool but we recommended one of the follow:
JDBC Navigator. This is a free graphical Java tool. After you have download it
Select the menu "Open JDBC Data Source"
Name: Small SQL Database
Driver Class: smallsql.database.SSDriver
URL: jdbc:smallsql
Save and Connect
Open the menu "Connection | SQL Window"
Enter "CREATE DATABASE db1" and execute it with ENTER
Close the Connection
Select the menu "Open JDBC Data Source" and change the URL to
jdbc:smallsql:db1
Save and Connect
SQuirreL SQL Client. This is an open source graphical Java tool. After you have download and install it
Create a new JDBC Driver
Name: Small SQL Database
Example URL: jdbc:smallsql:
Create a new Alias
Name: Small SQL db1
JDBC Driver: Small SQL
URL: jdbc:smallsql
Auto Logon: Yes
Connect to the alias "Small SQL db1"
Change to the tab "SQL"
Enter "CREATE DATABASE db1" and execute it
Close the window
Change the alias
JDBC URL: jdbc:smallsql:db1
Connect to the alias "Small SQL db1"
Configuration:
JDBC Driver class name: smallsql.database.SSDriver
JDBC URL: jdbc:smallsql:< database >
< database > is a absolute or relative directory name
In the Java code for a directory "db1" this look like:
Class.forName( "smallsql.database.SSDriver" );
java.sql.Connection con = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:smallsql:db1" );
Enhancements:
- JOIN performance was greatly improved with a new algorithm.
- German and Italian translations of the error messages were added, and it is easy to add more translations.
- Some bugs were fixed.

HA-JDBC project is a JDBC driver implementation that provides light-weight, transparent clustering capabilities to groups of homogeneous JDBC- accessed databases.
Main features:
- Supports any database accessible via JDBC.
- High-availability - Database cluster can lose a node without failing the current transaction.
- Improves performance of concurrent read-access by distributing load across individual nodes.
- Support for full JDBC 3.0 (Java 1.4) feature set.
- Compatible with JDBC RowSet implementations found in Java 1.5.
- Out-of-the-box database-independent strategies for synchronizing a failed cluster node.
- Exposes JMX management interface to allow administration of database clusters.
- Open source (LGPL).

DbVisualizer project is a cross-platform database tool for all major relational databases. DbVisualizer enables simultaneous connections to many different databases through JDBC drivers.
Just point and click to browse the database structure, view detailed characteristics of database objects, edit table data graphically, execute arbitrary SQL statements or SQL scripts, reverse engineer primary/foreign key mappings graphically or why not let DbVisualizer chart your database with its advanced charting options.
The user friendly graphical interface in combination with the unique collection of features makes DbVisualizer the ideal choice for database administrators and developers.
Main features:
General
- The Database Objects Tree is now always visible in the main window
- The Monitor main tab has been moved to a separate window (launch it via Tools->Monitor)
- Now with support for Java 1.5
- Support for Oracle XMLType data type
- Now displays User Defined Types (UDT)
- Support for MySQL 5+
Connection
- Variables can now be used in the Connection details
- New tool properties, Require Userid and Require Password
SQL Commander
- Auto Completion support used to ease the editing of SQL statements by automatically displaying list of table and column names
- The new Execute Current operation is used to execute the statement at the cursor position
Grid Enhancements
- Quick Filter is used to easily limit the number of rows in a grid by showing only those matching a search word
- Calulate Selection is used to perform simple calculations on the selected cells. Useful primarly for integer data
- Column visibility feature enabling persistent save of column changes such as horizontal location and visible state

cegojdbc implements the JDBC driver for the Cego database system.

nVidia FreeBSD Display Driver is the OpenGL nVidia support for graphic cards on FreeBSD operating systems.
Enhancements:
Added support for new GPUs:
- GeForce 7050 PV / NVIDIA nForce 630a
- GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a
Fixed console restore problems in several different configurations:
- Quadro FX 4400 SLI
- VESA console
- Notebook LCD displays
- Improved interaction with ATi RS480/482 based mainboards.
- Improved support for House Sync with G-Sync II.
- Improved NVIDIA X driver interaction with ACPI daemon.

SQLiteJDBC is a JDBC driver for SQLite which is written as a Java JNI layer over the SQLite 3.3.x API.

SQLiteJDBC supports the most commonly used features of JDBC that can be efficiently implemented on top of SQLite. Only a single native JNI library is required, and SQLite is compiled in.

Binaries are provided for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

Xmldoom::doc::UsingTorque Perl module contains a how to about making Torque generator to work with your database.xml.

Because the format used in the database definition (commonly named database.xml) is the same as Apache Torque, we can use their tools to automatically generate database.xml from the database, or automatically create the database from a database.xml.

Basically, the Torque Generator is a set of Ant scripts that call into the Torque engine. So, you need to install Ant as well.

SETTING UP THE TORQUE GENERATOR

First, you must download the Torque Generator from their project page:

http://db.apache.org/torque/download.html

Make sure you are downloading the Generator (the page is a little confusing). Youll see that there is a table there with versions going down the Y-axis and product names going across the X-axis. If the page hasnt since this writing, you want the top-cell over to the right one.

Once youve got it:

1. Extract the archive somewhere. Youll end up with directory named like torque-gen-3.2. Go there.
2. Edit a file named build.properties. Most of the setting dont matter for us, so you can skip down to the section labeled "DATABASE SETTINGS" (with a space between each letter). Configuring this section should be pretty self explanitory if you have ever used JDBC in Java before. In case you havent you can check out the explanation at the end of this document named "BUILD PROPERTIES".
3. You need to find and copy the JDBC drivers for your database into the lib/ directory. More on this in the "BUILD PROPERTIES" section.

Now you are ready to give it a go.

ANT TARGETS

To generate an XML schema from your database, run:

ant -f build-torque.xml jdbc

Most likely you wont want to use the generated file directly, because it lacks foreign-keys and any of the groovy Xmldoom special features. But it does provide a quick spring-board to allow to copy-paste and modify to get started quickly.

To create your database based on the XML description, run:

# to initially create the databas
ant -f build-torque.xml create-db

# will drop and re-create all tables in the database
ant -f build-torque.xml insert-sql
