I think that you might want to search for a copy of "Java Database
Programming with JDBC", by Patel and Moss.  It's a bit old, but I recall
that it has a couple of chapters where they walk through the process of
writing a JDBC driver for a very simple textfile database.  It might give
you a starting point for this process.

Subject: help writing JDBC driver


Hi,

I am writing a GIS in Java, and I'm working for 4-5 months with twz jdbc
driver, which is by now very satisfying. I am about to test mm's driver in
the coming days, and wish in the medium term to have more control about the
connection with the database, for example, to get some functionalities of
the JDBC 2.0 specs, some of which are very interesting for my purpose. I
would also like to play a little bit with the JNDI extension.
Hence, I would need some hints about the fundamentals of JDBC programming
and the mySQL protocol. How do you create a socket to the server to get a
connection id, how do you get the different kinds of data. Where in the JDBC
API do you write these initial statements... I might not want to rewrite a
driver entirely, though starting a new one from scratch until a certain
point could be interesting. After that I would sure prefere to collaborate
on someone else's code.

Thanks in advance
