[news.eclipse.dtp] Re: db4o database in the Data Tools Platfom

["Brian Fitzpatrick" <brianf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there...

Well, we're always looking for more databases to integrate with. Can't say I 
know anything about db4o, but if it has a JDBC driver, we can most likely 
connect to it or DTP can be adapted to work with it.

If you want to see a series of articles on integrating a different database 
(SQLite) with DTP, you can check out these articles on my blog...

Hope that helps! We're always looking for community support for new 
databases, so if you get something working and want to contribute it back, 
we'd love to have it. Also, feel free to put up any questions you may have 
and we'll do our best to answer them!

Thanks!
