Java Database Connectivity
JDBC is a standard SQL database access interface that provides uniform
access to a wide range of relational databases. It also provides a
common base on which higher level tools and interfaces can be built.
This comes with an ODBC Bridge. The Bridge is a library that implements
JDBC in terms of the ODBC standard C API.
