That particular driver is the worst driver. I believe it was just written as a "proof of concept". And I may be wrong, but I think it includes native code, in which case it is not going to be allowed to be run by an untrusted applet.

My advice is to use a different DBMS like MySQL or Derby and not to use applets at all. Either write a desktop application or a web application with servlets and JSP.
