Recommended ODBC-JDBC bridge driver for Oracle

0
votes

Sun's JDBC-ODBC bridge driver was meant as a short term solution when JDBC drivers weren't widely available, not recommended for production, etc etc. Yet due to a conjunction of many stupid decisions made on the part of many others, we're forced to use this to connect to Oracle rather than JDBC.

Are there any ODBC-JDBC bridge drivers out there, better than Sun's implementation...which are also free?

Honestly: try to get rid of whoever made the decision to use ODBC and switch to JDBC thin driver. Using the ODBC driver against Oracle from within a Java application is plain stupid (no offense against you!) – a_horse_with_no_name
Yep, but such stupidity is forced upon us.. supposedly it's due to limitations of the system which 'owns' the Oracle db. Some proprietary something being done in a junky custom odbc driver, I guess. – Mifune
