All modern JDBC drivers are 'pure java' JDBC drivers which work equally
well on OS X as on any other platform which supports Java. I use Oracle,
Postgres, MySQL and other relational databases via JDBC on OS X with the
standard JDBC drivers.
I haven't used Derby, but I suspect your problem is simply that you
haven't added the JDBC driver jar to your classpath.
