Overall architecture
In the next release of the JDK, the JDBC packages will be a standard part of the Java API
Interim Solution: ODBC bridge
Since it's going to take some time for vendors to create JDBC drivers, Javasoft has released a JDBC-ODBC bridge that allows you to create Java applications to talk to ODBC drivers which are readily availble today.
- Note that ODBC driver do NOT work in the Applet context because of our long lost foe, NATIVE METHODS
- The bridge is available at the Javasoft site for Win95/NT and Solaris
- Must have ODBC drivers to use bridge
