Hi, Sooo, I had a look at ODBC, and there is actually a ODBC-JDBC Gateway available from here: http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/jdbc_odbc_bridge/index.html
I downloaded and installed it, and then tried out a generic ODBC tool with it: http://www.sliksoftware.co.nz/products/odbcview/ With this I could set up a Neo4j ODBC source in Windows, and send Cypher requests to a Neo4j Server and view that as a table in the tool. So, that chain actually works. But I think it is entirely dependent on what ODBC client you want to use, as I'm sure each and every one of them will do slightly different calls. So if you can let me know maybe I can test whichever you are interested in, to see if it works. I am actually able to remote debug the driver to see what is going on, so that is pretty simple. regards, Rickard On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 10:26 AM, Rickard Öberg <rickard.ob...@neotechnology.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, I have written an experimental JDBC driver that uses the REST API > to map JDBC calls to Cypher.
