 ## JDBC
 
-Babashka includes the [`next.jdbc`](https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc)
-library along with a driver for [PostgresQL](https://www.postgresql.org/). See
-this [test](test-resources/babashka/postgres_test.clj) how to use it.
+Babashka supports the [`next.jdbc`](https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc)
+library along with drivers for [PostgresQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) and
+[HSQLDB](http://hsqldb.org/). These features are not part of the standard `bb`
+distribution. See [doc/build.md](doc/build.md) for details on how to build
+babashka with these features. See this
+[test](test-resources/babashka/postgres_test.clj) for an example how to use
+this.
 
-[HSQLDB](http://hsqldb.org/) is also
-supported, but not part of the standard `bb` distribution. See
-[doc/build.md](doc/build.md) for details.
-
-Support for other drivers is still [research in progress](doc/dev.md#jdbc).
+Interacting with `psql`, `mysql` and the `sqlite` CLIs can be achieved by
+shelling out. See the [examples](examples) directory.
