Is there _any_ database that people use that doesn't have a JDBC driver at this point?
Maybe we can keep our lives simple by only enabling JDBC drivers?

As far as I know, nobody has used Adabas D since 2004, and the stuff is
proprietary crippleware at best.
There are much better options today if you want to use a serious database
engine.

Then perhaps the driver should be updated to support Adabas 8.2?

It can't be: the driver is for "Adabas D" and Adabas (no D) is a different
product.

The Community Edition is version 6.1.8.

This "Community Edition" is an old, crippled version of the "Adabas D"
product.
Apart from the name, it has nothing to do with the real Adabas database;
according to Wikipedia, Software AG bought the engine from a different
company and renamed it in the 1990s.

The PDF fact sheet on
http://www.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/adabas/rela_3rd_prod/adad/default.asp
is dated from 2007 and includes a reference to Adabas D 14; with such a
version gap 4 years ago, I can't help believing the "community version"
has been abandoned ...
