Odbc using Jdbc-Odbc bridge from Intersolv Inc.
- ODBC is an open programming interface based on structured query language (SQL). The interface provides a standard, universal library of functions for building and deploying cross-platform database-independent applications.
-ODBC functions can be called from any programming language that can call a dynamic link library (DLL) or shared library.
-"ODBC is not appropriate for direct use from Java since it is a C interface."
-Non-availability of database drivers prompted javasoft to leverage the broad base of installed ODBC drivers, so the JDBC/ODBC Bridge enables data access from Java to ODBC interface via JDBC
