Database Compatibility

Supported databases
Oracle
MySQL
PostgreSQL
SQL Server
HSQLDB
Interbase/Firebird
ODBC data sources
D2RQ can connect to ODBC data sources like MS Access using an ODBC-JDBC bridge. This works with some limitations. We recommend using a dedicated JDBC driver for the database in question.
Other databases
May or may not work. By default, D2RQ interacts with the database using the SQL-92 standard. Any compatible database should work out of the box. We are interested in reports about D2RQ on other databases.

See Database compatibiliy on the D2RQ wiki for more details.
