Answer / guest
ODBC is the industry-standard interface by which database
clients connect to database servers.
JDBC is a pure Java solution that does not follow the ODBC
standard.
However, there is a bridge between JDBC and ODBC that allows
JDBC to access databases that support ODBC.

Answer / d. kalaivani natarajan
JDBC is platform independent whereas ODBC is platform
dependent.
ODBC is used to connect any type of client with a server.
But JDBC is used to connect only java based clients to a
server. Anyway, JDBC requires ODBC for this.

Answer / murali
JDBC technology is an api written in java,where as odbc is a
'c' interface written in c/c++ and cobol languages.
jdbc makes jdbcAPI calls
odbc tranforms jdbcAPI calls to odbc operations,these are
sent to database server.

Answer / imtiyaz
ODBC is a layer which is designed to communicate with
different databases. when we give a command to odbc it
talks with the specific database in its language we need
not to worry about the database what we are communicating
Thats why it is called Opend Data Base Connectivity
JDBC is layer and it is having its own API which is having
the commands to communicate with database.
when we JDBCODBC Driver, this will take care of sending the
java commands which can understand by ODBC.
