Hibernate Dialect for MS Access

I spent a little time this weekend for getting some hands on Hibernate. Being lazy and concerned about my bandwidth, I decided to go with MS Access to try Hibernate. Now I couldn't find a Dialect for MS Access.
Googling helped and I could find some info on Dialect for MS access...But I was not happy with the Dialect which I think is not a good one for trying the Hibernate features.

Then my question was, why Hibernate is not supporting MS Access and the answer I found is that it is not RDBMS. (contradictory stmt: https://www.hibernate.org/361.html#A4 ) Bummer! Does it actually support MS access?

But I recommend you to download MySQL which I had to do finally tho I am gonna pay more for internet this month ;)
Download SQL developer and JConnector to use MySQL with it! Ready to go....

All have a good weekend!
