Are there any JDBC implementations for NoSql databases?

Question

I just wonder if there are any JDBC implementations (in some extent, as much as possible) for any NoSql DB (opensource or proprietary)?

How do you think, is it possible that this implementation will show as good performance as raw API of correspondent NoSql DB?

Which parts cannot be implemented (transactions? CallableStatements? etc)?

Answer 1

SQL-based DBs have more in common than different. JDBC builds on those commonalities. If you take away SQL, most of the rationale for JDBC is gone! Also, NoSQL DBs have pretty widely varying APIs... there's hardly anything to capture under a common set of methods.

Short answer: No.
