ODBC

JDBC

1. ODBC Stands for Open Database Connectivity.


2. Introduced by Microsoft in 1992.

4. We can choose ODBC only Windows platform.
5. Mostly ODBC Driver is developed in native languages like C, and C++.
6. 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.
7. ODBC is procedural.

1. JDBC Stands for Java database connectivity.


2. Introduced by SUN Micro Systems in 1997.
3. We can use JDBC only for Java languages.
4. We can use JDBC on any platform.
5. JDBC Stands for Java database connectivity.
6. For Java applications it is highly recommended to use JDBC because there are no
performance & platform dependent problems.
7. JDBC is object-oriented.
