Removal of JDBC ODBC bridge in java 8

Question

Starting with Java 8, the JDBC-ODBC Bridge will no longer be included with the JDK.

Class.forName(\"sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver\"); // classNotFoundExceptio         


        

Answer 1

Is there any other solution connecting JDBC-ODBC Bridge?

Sun's and Oracle's official positions have long been that --

the [JVM-bundled] JDBC-ODBC Bridge should be considered a transitional solution [...] Oracle does not support the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.

However, my employer, OpenLink Software, has produced enterprise-grade commercial Type 1 Bridges between JDBC and ODBC since JVM 1.0, and these are fully compatible with the current JVM 1.8. You can learn more here --
