i tried to make my Hibernate app works with Ms Access ( yeah i know, its bad) with ucanaccess but it didnt work quite properly with paging and such (some times it comes with Sqlsyntax error, may be because of the dialect). So i figured that i need to let access go and choose another database type. But the system in which this app is deployed has this requirement:

You counldnt install any programm on this, only copying files.

Thus using a mysql database is impossible (at least for me) because i will need to install mysqlserver on it , what i can't. What i need is a type of database which you only needs to convert from Ms Access to it and save it somewhere you want.

Any suggestion ?

You can use H2 or HSQLDB with disk-based storage enabled. This way, you need to export your data from MS Acess into H2 or HSQLDB which work fine with Hibernate.
