*ODBC is for microsoft & JDBC is for java applications
* ODBC can't be directly used with java because it uses a c
interface.
*ODBC makes use of pointers which have been
removed totally from java.
*ODBC is procedural-oriented & JDBC is Object-Oriented
*ODBC is used to provide connection between front-end and
back-end.JDBC is used to provide connection between java
and database.
*ODBC is language -independent&JDBC is language-dependent.
*ODBC mixes simple & advanced features together and has
complex options for simple queries.JDBC is designed to keep
things simple while allowing advanced capabilities when
required.
*ODBC requires manual installation of the ODBC driver
manager and driver on all client machines.JDBC drivers are
written in java and JDBC code is automatically
installable,secure and portable on all platforms.
