Hi Guna Sekhar,

JDBC is Java DataBase Connectivity API for making data connection for Data and Java Class.

ODBC is Open/Object DataBase Connectivity driver for Microsoft specification and desktop applications.

JDBC = standard java interface to communicate with a database

ODBC = from Microsoft developed interface to communicate

with a database

JDBC-ODBC driver = an interface where the communication is translated from JDBC to ODBC and the communication after the driver to the database is via ODBC

ODBC is mostly used on Windows plattforms (if you want to connect with a database from C++,Delphi,etc.) , but there are also ODBC drivers for Linux available
