Java Database Connectivity (JDBC): "Not supported" is technically not
correct. Better would be: "Not supported by Google". Reason: the APIs
are there, and using third-party in-memory databases such as the H2
Database Engine (which I write) or HSQLDB work. I plan to write an
open souce datastore to JDBC wrapper so that people can use the JDBC
API directly via frameworks that use the JDBC API.
