ODBC Issue

Hi

Quick question. I have a CACHE link into an old mumps based system. In order
to access the old tables I install an ODBC driver and then access the tables
using access or some other DB tool. I can also query them from my
applications.

My question is....Can I connect to the database from my Java applications
without installing the ODBC driver on every machine.

To simplify things I have an access database sitting on a shared network
drive with the link tabls i need.

Thanks

J

I don't know.

Why don't you try it yourself? That's got to be easier than waiting around
on the chance that someone else has ever tried this before.

you need a driver in oracle.
such as JDBC, it is usually totally independent of the ODBC.

The JDBC ODBC bridge will require the ODBC driver to
be installed on every client.

The JDBC ODBC bridge is not a particular good component
either.

It would solve your problem and work much better if you could
find a real JDBC driver for whatever you are connecting to.
