DataLoader: JDBC data sources (MS-SQL, MySQL, Oracle, Access, etc.)

Does anyone know if someone is working on extending the Data Loader (open sourced version) to support data sources other than CSV. As the Data Loader is a Java based solution, I was hoping that someone with better Java skills than mine might be working on adding JDBC support.

This sure would be handy for data imports and data updates - no more hassles worrying about escaping CSV reserved characters, and no more hassles with carriage returns and line feeds in data, etc.

Anyone..., anyone..., Ferris?

I would guess that the open source version of the dataloader may have support for the upsert call, NTLM proxies, and a better query builder for the new release.

I would rue to promise anything, but JDBC support has a catchy ring as well, perhaps Santa will bring it with my XBox 360.

LOL - any place special I should send Santa's cookies and milk (or appropriate brewed substitute) to as to encourage him to deliver said present?
