your advice on DBMS and its driver on Linux

[Kenneth D. Litwak]

  Janet, my suggestion would be to use InstantDB, www.instantdb.co.uk.  I'ts 
pretty inexpensive,works well, has its own JDBC driver, is mostly JDBC 2.0 
compliant, easy to use and install (I used it for the examples in my Java 
programming book).  One of its really good features is that all the values you 
would normally put in a db URL are put in a properties file, so taht ou can 
change things like database and user id without having to change the code at 
all.  It's also small in size.
