Java: Using an access database

I am fairly new to database programming in java. I have used odbc to
make connections to access dbs but I was wondering how I could connect
directly to an access db on my local machine. Do I have to download
any specific drivers or are they already on my pc and how would I code
this connection. thanks in advance

You can use Java's built-in JDBC-ODBC bridge but be aware that this was
a test product by Sun and never meant for production databases. Simple
applications work but anything other than a basic application will
potentially run into problems and there is no support for this.

You might look into an alternative database like HypersonicSQL..
