hi,,
What is the difference between JDBC and ODBC
thanks
guna
Request clarification before answering.
Hello Guna,
ODBC
ODBC is a multidatabase API for programs that use SQL statements to access data. An ODBC-based program can access heterogeneous databases without needing source code changes-one program can retrieve and store content in different vendors' databases via the ODBC interface. ODBC thus provides database-neutral delivery of both SQL and database content. Be aware, however, that you must load ODBC driver software for each vendor's database you want to access.
JDBC
JDBC is a collection of database access middleware drivers that provide Java programs with a call-level SQL API. Java applets and applications can use the drivers' API to connect to databases, store and retrieve database content and execute stored procedures, thus making JDBC a Java-enabled delivery mechanism for SQL. JDBC is to Java programs what ODBC is to programs written in languages other than Java. In fact, JDBC's design is based on ODBC's
