Hello,
Yes you can. For instance, to connect to a MS Access database, you can use the following statement:
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\JdbcDatabase.mdb";
The .mdb file has to be there (empty if you want), but you don't have to execute the annoying DNS registration procedure via 'Control Panel | ODBC...' and so on.
I don't know yet how to create the .mdb file from within Java too, but I think it's already an answer to your question.
HTH,
Geert
