JDBC Driver Guide
JDBC Compared to ODBC
JDBC is to Java what Microsoft’s Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface is to the C language. Both JDBC and ODBC:
- Provide a vendor-independent API that allows the same application to connect to different vendors’ databases and retrieve and update data using standard SQL statements.
- Adopt the architecture of imposing a driver manager between applications and vendor-supplied drivers that translate between the standard API and a vendor’s proprietary implementation.
- Are based on the X/Open SQL call-level interface specification.
