I've been working on a Neo4j JDBC driver for some time now, and I
would now like to get some feedback on how it works. You can find it
here:
https://github.com/rickardoberg/neo4j-jdbc/
You can either get the source and build it yourself, or download it
from the following URL:
https://github.com/downloads/rickardoberg/neo4j-jdbc/neo4j-jdbc-1.6-SNAPSHOT.jar
Instructions on how to use it are at the GitHub project. Tested with
DbVisualizer, LibreOffice, IntelliJ 11 Database Support, and as ODBC
source in Windows using the Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway.
There's a ton of questions that I'm interested in hearing from you about:
* Right now it uses "type nodes" to achieve tables. Is this ok, or are
there other approaches that would be better?
* What tools should I test it with? So far each tool has required a
custom "quirks mode", so this is vital to know!
* Driver is now read-only, as Cypher (as underlying query language) is
read-only. Is this a big problem, or is the driver still useful for
reporting purposes?
* Authentication modes? Basic auth should work out of the box, but
other than that what do people use?
And so on... for those who need a JDBC driver, please try it out and
let me know how it works for you!
regards, Rickard
This cries for a cool screenshot in the README, much like
