RmiJdbc : Client/Server JDBC Driver Based on Java RMI

Try RmiJdbc, then send us feedback!

24 Sep. 04: RmiJdbc 3.3 (JDBC 3) for JDK 1.4 is now the stable release (see the "download" section).
It is a maintenance release, after RmiJdbc 3.2.

What is RmiJdbc?

Need a Type 3 JDBC Driver for MS Access or SQL Server? Think RmiJdbc!

RmiJdbc is a client/server JDBC Driver that relies on Java RMI.
All JDBC classes (like Connection, ResultSet, etc...) are distributed as RMI objects, so that you can distribute as you like the access to any database supporting the JDBC API.
In fact, RmiJdbc is just a bridge to allow remote access to JDBC drivers.

Why RmiJdbc?

You develop a client/server application with databases on Windows (NT)?
Use RmiJdbc along with the JDBC/ODBC Bridge, your Windows (NT) databases become remotely accessible in Java ;)
You implement a JDBC Driver?
Just implement the JDBC classes locally, don't bother with remote access!
You need serializable JDBC classes? Here they are.
