Hi

1.ODBC is for Microsoft and JDBC is for java applications.

2.ODBC can't be directly used with Java because it uses a C

interface.

3.ODBC makes use of pointers which have been removed

totally from java.

4.ODBC mixes simple and advanced features together and has

complex options for simple queries,But JDBC is designed to

keep things simple while allowing advanced capabilities

when required.

5.ODBC requires manual installation of the ODBC driver

manager and driver on all client machines.JDBC drivers are

written in java and JDBC code is automatically

installable,secure,and portable on all platforms.

6. JDBC API is a natural Java Interface and is built on

ODBC. JDBC retains some of the basic feature of ODBC
