Question: I have a binary flat-file database that I need to access via JDBC. How do I create a driver that I can use?

Answer: Read SUN's specifications on
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/
As written there "the new JDBC API, it also provides access to other tabular data sources, such as spreadsheets or flat files..."

Also take a look at RmiJdbc on:
