It does sound very nice, thanks very much for the effort!

I didn't look at the code, but one thing I noticed when trying the driver is that it requires a bunch of other
librarieswhich is highly unusual in the JDBC "world". Usually the JDBC driver jar is self contained. 

When I tried it with my SQL tool (SQL Workbench/J) I got the following exception when connecting:


java.lang.NullPointerException
