What is JDBC and ODBC and what are the differences between
them?

Answer Posted / manjesh

ODBC is open database connectivity. The goal of ODBC is to
make it possible to access any data from any application,
regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is
handling the data so it is language independent


JDBC is Java Database Connectivity. It enables java programs
to execute sql statements. JDBC makes it possible to write a
single database application that can run on different
platforms and interact with different DBMS. JDBC is language
dependent i.e it is used only to make connectivity with
java.

.*ODBC is language -independent&JDBC is language-dependent.
