The OQL parser has enhancements to support native SQL similar to the
support for stored procedures (see
http://castor.exolab.org/list-archive/msg07913.html). Also see line #440
of src/main/org/exolab/castor/jdo/engine/SQLEngine.java in castor-0.9.3
to present CVS for the implementation. I've not used it but I know it's
there. Thanks to Thorsten Mauch for its creation and Thomas Yip for its
implementation.

Need more information... Persistent objects are created via some type of
client code and committed to persistence via Castor.

The only one that I know if is here:

There is not method of connecting with native drivers, however, to
connect to Oracle I have used both the type 2 and type 4 JDBC drivers
from Oracle.
