Thread: Re: Out of topic - Need help with connecting Java programs on Linux

Dear Paul Thomas,
                               Thank you for your response.  But I did
not understand what you meant by saying that jdbc:odbc bridge is
supported by only Sun's JVM.  Can you be a little more elaborate.
Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
Shan.

Re-read his message, he wrote it's only supported by Suns *Windows* VM,
that means the java VM for Windows.

The problem is that odbc drivers are platform specific (in opposite to
most jdbc drivers that are pure java). So you need the jdbc:odbc bridge
and the access odbc driver both built for linux, and I assume that at
least the latter one does not exist.

HTH,
Markus
