Can an embedded Derby database be accessed for analysis from a program like MS Access/ExcelP

I would like to access data stored in an embedded Derby database by my Java application from a program like MS 开发者_运维百科Access/Excel, Open Office, etc?

Is there a way of doing this? I guess the only way this could be achieved is if Apache Derby came with an ODBC driver right?

The EasySoft ODBC driver will do this. It's certified for use with the Sun Java Db (which is what Derby is called when packaged with Java 6).
