Java Database Connectivity
Java Database Connectivity is a standard SQL database access interface, providing uniform access to a
wide range of relational databases. It also provides a common base on which higher level tools and
interfaces can be built. This comes with an "ODBC Bridge" (except on Mac 68K). The Bridge is a library
which implements JDBC in terms of the ODBC standard C API.
