Although the JDBC<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> API is mainly geared 
to passing SQL statements to a database, it provides for reading and
writing data from any data source with a tabular format.
The reader/writer facility, available through the 
<code>javax.sql.RowSet</code> group of interfaces, can be customized to
use and update data from a spread sheet, flat file, or any other tabular 
data source.
