I have a rather large DBF file, about 40 megs, that I need to be able to query. Right now I am reading the DBF, it’s just tabular text, into a h2 database and querying the h2 database. This works, but seems… stupid. I’ve been looking for a type 4 JDBC driver for DBF, but haven’t had any luck. What is the proper way to do this?

There is a registry of JDBC drivers at http://developers.sun.com/product/jdbc/drivers . You can select your platform, for example dBase for DBF files and look for a driver. For dBase it lists a bunch of drivers and many of them are type 4. I didn’t look into details whether any of these drivers are free.
