Hi,

I'm searching a jdbc driver that would be optimized for localhost db server  
communication layer. (linux, if platform dependant)

DB servers may work without tcp/ip (like mysql for example), straight on
kernel's inter-process communication facilities (pipes...)

If there are java/native interface (JNI) jdbc drivers that would exploit
this kind of i/o, we would expects much faster db throughput for a
application running on the same machine as the DB server.

We are not limiting ourselves to mysql. All suggestions (servers and
drivers) are welcome.

Non-jdbc suggestions are also considered, as long as they are Java...

The nicest thing of course, would be a jdbc driver extremely close to the
db server process.

Thanks.
