Connect to a databse?

Hello!

I wonder if it is possible, and how, to develop a stand alone application in Java that uses a database like Access or MySQL that can be downloaded and run on a client without that the user needs to create a odbc or install the database application?

With ASP I can do like this with a Access-file below so the ASP-app direct uses the file.

Set myDatabaseConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
databasePath = "../database/school.mdb"
connectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE="
connectionString = connectionString & server.mappath(databasePath) & ";"
myDatabaseConnection.open connectionString

So is it possible to do it the same in Java? I have only found these two ways with either jdbc:odbc or jdbc for MySql:

    public MySQLTester()
    {
        try
        {
            Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");

            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=root&password=pass");

            PreparedStatement preparedStatement = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM users");

            ResultSet resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery();

            while ( resultSet.next() )
            {
                System.out.println( resultSet.getString("id") );
                System.out.println( resultSet.getString("name") );
                System.out.println( resultSet.getString("password") );
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public MySQLTester(String in)
    {
        try
        {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:test", "root", "pass");

            PreparedStatement preparedStatement = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM users");

            ResultSet resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery();

            while ( resultSet.next() )
            {
                System.out.println( resultSet.getString("id") );
                System.out.println( resultSet.getString("name") );
                System.out.println( resultSet.getString("password") );
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
