JDBC Newbie

[Saiful]

Hi

I am new to Java programming.

Question is - Is there any free JDBC drivers around. Does Java provide a
free JDBC driver for both JDK2 and JDK1.x

When you download the JDK from the java.sun webpage, does the JDBC drivers
inside the package as well. If it is, where is it?

rgds,

You get one free JDBC driver with the JDK. It is the JDBC ODBC bridge
driver and can be used to connect to ODBC drivers and hence any ODBC
data source

It resides within the Runtime classes and the class name you need to
specify for the driver load is

sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

Hope that Helps

Thanks to all of you guys who has answered my cry of assistance.

Yes! JDK1.2 does have a JDBC-ODBC driver.
