Hi Juan!

We are are doing a lot of good stuff using PostgreSQL (there is a port
in /usr/ports/databases, web page @ http://www.postgresql.org/) Postgres
seems to be the most competent and complete free database around, but it
is probably not the fastest. If all you need to do is simple SQL stuff
(no subselects for example) you might be better off with mysql
(http://www.tcx.se/ and also in the ports collection). 

To build jdbc with postgres, enter (from the top of my head)
src/interfaces/jdbc and make. You'll get a jar file to be somewhere
appropriate. 

Good luck!
