Question: How can in Java I convert this string 23AB to its hexadecimal representation 32334142. Is there any method that can do that easily? Or how could I write this function?

Answer: It is easy indeed:

Use parsing functions form Java API's class Integer...

Integer.parseInt(String s, int radix)
(for hexadecimal radix=16)
and
Integer.toHexString(int i).

It is good idea to add NumberFormatException handling

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:
