Foil 21 Driver Classification- I

From Overview of JDBC and its use with CORBA or Java RMI CPS616 Technologies of Information Age -- Spring 1998. by Nancy McCracken(Sangetta Aggarwal, Udayan Parvate, Tom Pulikal)
Following is a broad classification of the driver types :
  • JDBC-ODBC bridge provides JDBC access via most ODBC drivers. Some ODBC binary code and in many cases database client code must be loaded on each client machine that uses this driver, so this kind of driver is most appropriate on a corporate network, or for application server code written in Java in a 3-tier architecture.
  • Native-API partly-Java driver converts JDBC calls into calls on the client API for Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Like the bridge driver, this style of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client machine.
