Here is the code I have written for creating a driver for JDBC that runs under JRuby.

I have not attached any licensing information to the files.  Please add whatever licensing information is appropriate
for the DBI project.

I also note that there is currently an issue using DBI's setup.rb file to install on JRuby, I believe due to JRuby's
lack of directories for native files, although I haven't gotten a chance to look into it in detail.  The error arises
even when installing DBI standalone and no native files need to be copied.  I wanted to make sure you knew that until
this issue is fixed either on DBI or JRuby end, the only way to install is to manually place the Jdbc dir under the
DBD dir.  I don't know if some of the repackaging work that's being done can aim to address this, or if you want me
to look into it and propose a patch for setup.rb, or you want me to bring up the nonconformant directory structure with
the JRuby guys, etc.  Please let me know (if you want I'll post this issue in the bug tracker).

Wow, excellent! Thank you, this was very far down on my priority
list. :)

I'll leave this open until I can refresh the documentation with
a pointer to your project.

Just wanted to let you know that I've refreshed this code and
added it to the jruby-extras project, plus I've created a first
gem that can be installed.

I know this is a longshot, but DBI 0.4.0 is going to be able
to be hosted from rubygems, and the DBDs will be gemmed independently,
allowing others to supply DBDs that work with DBI with minimal
effort.

Would you be interested (or perhaps someone else) in maintaining
this separately?

Hi Kristopher,

in JdbcTypeConversions.rb the line 

      when Types::BIGINT then DBI::BIGINT

needs to be changed into

      when Types::BIGINT then DBI::SQL_BIGINT

to work. I'll try your jdbc stuff. It would be really cool if
it works.

Greetings
Uwe

Hmm, even though my .tar.gz file is valid, when I tried to 
download it from the site it came out invalid.  So, I'll 
post the files individually in case there was a problem 
with the upload.
