databases of different types like HSQLDB, MySQL, SQLite, etc. I finally
found an interesting one in Java. It only needs to have the JDBC driver
for the RDBMS that should be accessed. This is a free software tool
named SQuirreL SQL (<a href="http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/">home page</a>).</p>
<p>I also wanted to access SQLite databases throught this client or any
Java code. Finding the JDBC driver for SQLite is quite hard, but here is
a <a href="http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/">working one</a>. To use it with SQuirreL SQL, simply place the JDBC
jar file in the lib directory of SQuirreL installation and add a new
JDBC driver with the class <code>org.sqlite.JDBC</code>. </p>
