In case anyone is interested in this, Mainsoft has already done the bulk of the work of writing a System.Data provider for JDBC and they've sent me their code (under an open source license) a long time ago. I never got around to doing the work myself (too busy working on IKVM itself), but if anyone is interested I can send them the code.
