How can I use hibernate with MS Access?

Question

I want to use hibernate with MS Access. Which dialect should I use and can you give me a sample hibernate configuration file with MS Access?

Answer 1

As a late note (commenting is not available for me): UCanAccess surely works, although I don't (yet) have experience with writing data. Anyways, regarding the dialect to use, I run with

because UCanAccess use HSQLDB, and I suppose that dialect is the best match. There isn't any sql actually hitting ms-access in the picture here, jackcess reads and writes directly to the access mdb-file, there is no microsoft code interpreting any sql anywhere, as far as I can understand, and therefore using SQLServerDialect will only confuse HSQLDB code trying to understand it.
