There is a FileMaker Pro plug-in which can connect to any database that has

in the code, and it was very fast. (Why am I using FileMaker? That's
another story).
FileMaker's plug-in API is C/C++, not Java. So the developers of the
plug-in had to write some kind of C/C++ wrapper around the java code. I was
imagining that some clever Rev Nut could do the same thing for Revolution.
Maybe as others have pointed out there is no need.
Todd, that's a new one one me!
I'm all for any method to get the bountiful world of JDBC drivers can be opened up to us. Certainly better than dealing with ODBC, on Win32 platforms.
You reminded me that some Objective-C/Cocoa programmers are using Apple's "Java Bridge" for the purpose of using JDBC from their C apps. But the "Java Bridge" is some mysterious runtime voodoo that Apple whipped up for OS X.
I've heard of JNI (java native interfaces) but that's for calling C code from Java, I think.
