Hi,

Yes, I have written an experimental JDBC driver that uses the REST API
to map JDBC calls to Cypher. It is available at:
http://github.com/rickardoberg/neo4j-jdbc

This can be used to access Neo4j data. Since Cypher does not yet
support updates this is read-only, but can be good for reporting
purposes. I have so far tested it with DbVisualizer and
LibreOffice/OpenOffice, and it works there (the driver has "quirks
mode" for each of these to translate the standard SQL calls these
tools make into Cypher). I have also packaged the driver as an applet
so that it can be used from Javascript in an HTML page:
https://github.com/rickardoberg/neo4j-jdbc-applet

With example:
https://github.com/rickardoberg/neo4j-jdbc-web

These were done yesterday, so not yet production ready, but feel free
to try it out and provide feedback.

This allows Neo4j to be accessed by tools that support JDBC, but not
ODBC. I'm trying to find out if there's a way to do it (the standard
JDBC/ODBC bridge does it in the other direction), but have little hope
that it can be done easily. What is the tool that you want to use to
access Neo4j from, and does it only support ODBC, or would JDBC be
fine?
