Can JDBC connect to ODBC?

ODBC is used between applications JDBC is used by Java programmers to connect to databases With a small “bridge” program, you can use the JDBC interface to access ODBC- accessible databases. The JDBC API supports both two-tier and three-tier models for database access.

How do I use JDBC and ODBC?

Both ODBC and JDBC are the programming interface that is required by the applications at the client side to access the database at server side. Basically both are known as drivers to get connected with a database and are provided by the vendors of RDBMS.

What do you mean by JDBC-ODBC bridge?

The JDBC-ODBC Bridge allows applications written in the Java programming language to use the JDBC API with many existing ODBC drivers. The Bridge is itself a driver based on JDBC technology (“JDBC driver”) that is defined in the class sun. jdbc.

Can I use ODBC instead of JDBC?

We can use ODBC for any language like C,C++,Java etc. We can use JDBC only for Java languages. We can choose ODBC only windows platform.

Which is better JDBC or ODBC?

ODBC drivers are faster. JDBC drivers are slower than ODBC drivers. ODBC is procedural. JDBC is object oriented.

Why we use JDBC instead of ODBC?

The RDBMS vendors provide ODBC or JDBC drivers so that their database can be accessed by the applications on client side. The point that fundamentally differentiates JDBC and ODBC is that JDBC is language dependent and it is Java specific whereas, the ODBC is a language independent.

Is ODBC faster than JDBC?

ODBC drivers are implemented in native languages like C/C++. JDBC drivers are implemented in Java. ODBC drivers are faster. JDBC drivers are slower than ODBC drivers.

What is the role of JDBC-ODBC?

ODBC is an SQL-based Application Programming Interface (API) created by Microsoft that is used by Windows software applications to access databases via SQL. JDBC is an SQL-based API created by Sun Microsystems to enable Java applications to use SQL for database access.

Is JDBC better than ODBC?

As you can see, with less number of records being fetched from the database, C(ODBC) performed better. But as the number of records were increased, Java(JDBC) came out as the winner.
