JDBC Native API Driver/Partly Java Driver This leads to restricting the use of the application to desktops. The Type 1 driver uses DSN, which needs to be created on every client machine to connect with a database.The JDBC-ODBC Driver uses system installations so in order to use a Type 1 driver, the ODBC driver needs to be installed on the client system.As there are a high number of conversions, the working of the driver is slow, which hampers performance. When a program executes the JDBC, the call gets converted first of all to JDBC-ODBC and then later from JDBC-ODBC to ODBC.

The disadvantages of using the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver are as follows: Disadvantages of the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver

These types of drivers are freely installed on the system, which allows access to almost all types of databases. JDBC-ODBC bridge driver Advantages of the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver In order to connect to the database it uses an ODBC driver with the help of Data Source Name ( DSN).

The Type 1 driver is installed on the client machine which translates all the JDBC calls into ODBC calls. The Type 1 driver uses JDBC API to the Open Database Connectivity ( ODBC) API to access a database. We shall now see all types of driver and their advantages and disadvantages.
