We've used the HXTT drivers for clipper (dbase) files in the past... You just use that as your Datasource. The difference the usage is the "simulated" sql that the driver provides to you. There was nothing different in the configuration; just specify the correct URL and the correct driver name and have the driver in the classpath.
I've also seen someone use the jdbc-odbc bridge on an excel spreadsheet with ibatis... As long as you follow the sql syntax in the maps that the driver implements, you'll be fine. I'm sure there's a plethora of csv jdbc drivers out there. Hope this helps. -Bryan Shannnon -----Original Message----- From: mimy17 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 4:16 AM To: user-java@ibatis.apache.org Subject: Using flat files instead of a relational database Hello, I know when you're not using a relational databases, you can use JDBC drivers for flat files (CSV). Is there someone who already do that and can give me an exemple ? What is different in the config files excluding the URL and the class of the driver Many thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Using-flat-files-instead-of-a-relational-database- tp18377625p18377625.html Sent from the iBATIS - User - Java mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
