Which JDBC Driver is JDBC-ODBC bridge driver?
JDBC type 1 driver
The JDBC type 1 driver, also known as the JDBC-ODBC bridge, is a database driver implementation that employs the ODBC driver to connect to the database. The driver converts JDBC method calls into ODBC function calls.
Why JDBC-ODBC bridge has been removed?
Java 8 has removed the JDBC-ODBC bridge, which means that the Microsoft ODBC drivers no longer work, which are required for scanning excel and csv files with the Database Scanner in migration-center. Starting from version 3.7 of migration-center, Java 8 is the minimum version required.
Is JDBC compatible with ODBC?
As JDBC is language and platform specific, Java application can use JDBC-to-ODBC bridge to communicate with ODBC adaptable databases. Unlike ODBC, JDBC has easy coding but, it is only limited to Java only.
What is JDBC-ODBC driver?
ODBC is an SQL-based Application Programming Interface (API) created by Microsoft that is used by Windows software applications to access databases via SQL. JDBC is an SQL-based API created by Sun Microsystems to enable Java applications to use SQL for database access.
What is a JDBC driver and how many JDBC drivers are available?
JDBC drivers are client-side adapters (installed on the client machine, not on the server) that convert requests from Java programs to a protocol that the DBMS can understand. There are 4 types of JDBC drivers: Type-1 driver or JDBC-ODBC bridge driver. Type-2 driver or Native-API driver.
Which of the following is not a JDBC driver?
ConnectionPool is not a class of JDBC API. JDBC API consists of following interfaces and classes: DriverManager, Driver, Connection, Statement, ResultSet, SQLException.
Is JDBC-ODBC Bridge is single threaded?
Is the JDBC-ODBC Bridge multi-threaded? No. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge uses synchronized methods to serialize all of the calls that it makes to ODBC.
Why we use JDBC instead of ODBC?
For Java applications it is not recommended to use ODBC because performance will be down due to internal conversion and applications will become platform Dependent. For Java application it is highly recommended to use JDBC because there we no performance & platform dependent problem. ODBC is procedural.
What is difference between ODBC and JDBC drivers?
ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity which literally means that it is compatible with all types of languages such as C, C++, Java, etc. JDBC Stands for Java database connectivity i.e only compatible with java language. On the other hand, JDBC is a purely object-oriented type driver.
Which of the following is not a interface supported by JDBC?
The Statement interface cannot accept parameters. PreparedStatement: It represents the pre-compiled SQL statements that can be executed multiple times. CallableStatement: It is used to execute SQL stored procedures. QueryStatement: It is not supported by JDBC.
