The purpose of this 3 page paper is to discuss JDBC with interfacing to
ODBC.
JDBC is a Java API (Application Programming Interface) that documents a
standard framework for dealing with tabular and, generally, relational data
A database is essentially a smart container for tables.
A table is a container comprised of rows.
A row is (conceptually) a container comprised of columns.
A column is a single data item having a name, type, and value.
ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), a C-based interface to SQL-based
database engines, provides a consistent interface for communicating with a
database and for accessing database metadata
This solution provides a brief description of JDBC, ODBC as well as the interface between them
