[Hsqldb-user] ODBC Driver available

[fredt <fr...@us...>]

The ODBC driver for HSQLDB was developed two years ago, but no binaries were 
released.

I have uploaded the Win32 MSI installer to:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hsqldb/files/alpha_beta/

The driver works with the latest versions of HSQLDB.

- Install the driver and configure ODBC data source for it to connect to an 
HSQLDB server instance.
- The default empty password for SA does not work. You need to define a 
password for the user on the server.
- The ODBC data source is HyperSQLu (the u stands for Unicode)
- You can also try out the data source by connecting to it as a jdbc-odbc 
bridge data source from JDBC

The ODBC driver does not currently handle metadata calls. But it handles SQL 
statement execution correctly.
