Why should we have to connect to jdbc rather directly connecting to odbc?

Why should we have to connect to jdbc rather directly connecting to odbc.why there should be a bridge?

sandy,
The short answer is: because it should.
The long answer is: bb-ee-cc-aa-uu-ss-ee  ii-tt  ss-hh-oo-uu-ll-dd.
The really long answer is: JDBC is portable. ODBC isn't... It's yet another Microshite-locked-down psuedo-open technology... So go implement an ODBC driver (in pure java please) if the concept gives you wood.
Or just just use the jdbc/odbc bridge (if you must) like the rest of us.
Cheers. Keith.

    why do I have to disable the cellurlar data to connect to Optimum or xfinity public wifi?

    you are pretty quick at responding and that is excellent.
    MY issue is: when I log on to Optimum or Xfinity public wifi and I dont change the Cellular Data (settings), it says that there is an error loading the page and it wont let me put in the login information. My wifi works fine at home without having to configure or touch the cellular data.

  • Why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games it doesn't want to start the game it sending me a message about apps...what does that mean?

    why do I have such a hard time when I connect to facebook games... firefox doesn't want to open the game the message is sending that their something with the apps..what does that mean?....what is plugin...what do I do for that?

    The usual explanation is that it is a licensing issue. It's not Apple refusing to support an MS product (they support loads of others, like QuickLook for Office docs). MS won't let Apple have it. (The Linux-based solutions are third-party reverse engineered.)
    That having been said, I've never had a problem plugging an NTFS drive and reading files from it. Why does it take you an hour?
    I've never had a problem with a Mac-formatted USB thumb drive not writing either. It's possible that the hardware/software that Apple uses is more sensitive to cheaper thumb drives, but I'm guessing here.

  • Trying to send using Apple mail program after installing Mavericks; Keep getting box "iCloud Cannot connect to account iCloud". Entering password restores mail but why should  I have to do this?

    Trying to send mail via Apple's email program (not iCloud off web page)  after Mavericks show pane "iCloud cannot connect to account iCloud". Entering p/w restores mail but why should this be happening?

    While I am no fan of Best Buy and would not buy a lightbulb from them I doubt you issues have anything to do with your iMac and more to do with your lack of experience and simply getting bad advice. Judging by you post I suspect you have loaded your computer down with a lot of crapware and that  has caused it's problems. For example running antivirus apps on a Mac not only is a waste of time, it's a waste of money, system resources and will eventually create more problems that it solves. Please begin educating yourself on the subject by reading Thomas Reeds articles on the subject, Thomas is a frequent and knowledgeable contributor to these forums. You can find his webpage at http://www.reedcorner.net/tech-guides/
    The good news is here are absolutely no, zero, zippo viruses for OS X. There are other types of malware available (for example trojans) however they differ greatly from viruses in that the use has to download and install them, whereas viruses do not work that way. OS X is not like MS Windows and is extremely secure.
    My suggestion at this point would be to clean your computer of the crapware (including antivirus apps) however before doing so please download and install EtreCheck and post its report. Then we can see how your computer has been configured and begin to give you some advice on the next steps.

  • Why should we have to close the result set and statement

    I am told that , I have to close my connection , result set , statement objects in finally block.
    why we need to do this ?
    If close the connection wont it be sufficient?

    To ensure that resources are freed in the client and in the database server.
    Yes, closing the connection is enough. Except if you are a bit paranoid about broken JDBC drivers that don't close dependent resources properly - but I haven't seen such drivers in real life.
    One important reason why programmers close ResultSets and Statements is that they use connection pools. In that case the Connection is returned to the pool instead of closing it. It is good practice to close RS's and Statements in preparation for the day when you graduate to writing code where you too will want to use a connection pool instead of the sloooooow reconnect-close-reconnect-close-etc.

  • Why should I have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that the iO6 caused to begin with????

    Would somebody please explain to me why I should have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that THEY caused to begin with??? I still cannot connect to WiFi with my iPhone since the upgrade yesterday.  Will they pay for my data overages??? I have tried every suggestion that has been on the Apple Forums...and none of them work. Then when I tried contacting Apple..I found out I have to PAY for their help.  Are they kidding me??

    But it's Apple's fault I'm having a problem...not mine. It's not right.

  • WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO BUY A NEW COMPUTER TO RUN FIREFOX,WHEN I HAVE OS 10.5?

    It's ridiculous that I should have to buy a new computer to run Firefox,just because I have OS 10.5. You must think people are made of money.

    First off you should update to Firefox 16.0.2, which is the latest version of Firefox that will run on your PC. It isn't the most modern, but it's faster and more secure that 3.5.
    We dropped support for Mac 10.5 just like we drop support for other old operating systems. The userbase on it is decreasing (due to users upgrading) and continuing to support it is hold back innovation for more modern Operating Systems.
    As for why it is considered old, blame Apple. They released 10.5 in 2007 and stopped supporting it in 2009. Because you have an Intel Processor you can probably upgrade to Mac 10.6, which should be something like $20USD.

  • Why should I have Flash?

    I'm using a not long acquired laptop while I either sort out a problem on a tower or put another one in instead. I get quite a few blank spaces on webpages that ask me to install a plugin. I assume these are either for Java or Flash. I've not had a problem with this as I block adverts and most of these blanks don't seem to affect my use of the pages. Apart from looking at flashing and moving adverts and the unnecessary showing off of web designers, is there any any good reason why I should have Flash? There is a Microsoft version present in a folder but it doesn't seem to do anything - may not be installed. (Java is desperately trying to get me to update, but I'm not going to until I find out why I should need that too.) I am a long time computer user (Mac and PC) going back to MS-DOS 3.0 and the first Macs and writing COBOL on 8088s even. I just get fed up with frippery. (Adverts are blocked because I've never found one selling anything I want. I realise they pay the bills, but I'm not going to click on them so why display them?) I do realise that asking this here is not going to do much for my popularity...

    Your popularity is not in jeopardy.  There's no need to change your ways.  Since creating advertisements is a minimscule part of what Flash is used for, you may end up missing quite a bit of useful web content, but you won't miss what you don't know exists.  It's really entirely up to you.  You can always try it for awhile and if you find your browsing habits don't have need for it, then just get rid of it.
    As far as the java bit goes,  my other machine is constantly reminding me that there is a new update available.  Since I can't get rid of the notice, I'm stuck with that, but I otherwise have no problem with what's installed so I don't plan to process the upgrade anytime soon.

  • Why do i have to restart my iphone 4 to connect to cellular data network after moving out of wifi range?

    Whenever I move out of a wifi zone, I expect my iphone to connect to cellular data automatically. But this doesn't happen. I have tried turning flight mode on/off and also tried turning cellular data on / off couple of times, but nothing works.
    I only get the cellular data connection back after I restart my iphone.
    I started having this problem after upgrading to iOS7.
    Any idea how to fix this?

    Hi beingkejo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Toggling Airplane mode and cellular data are good troubleshooting steps. If your iPhone still does not connect to cellular data automatically when Wi-Fi disconnects, I recommend the additional steps in this article:

  • Why should I have to give up other apps. for a new Firefox Upgrade?

    Today (Fri; 6/24/11) I got a pop-up informing me of a newer version of Mozilla Firefox. I have been using it for years and LOVE the browser; BUT.... AFTER it was installed, it tells me that DAP apps; download accel; video accel; DAP downloads; and about 10 or 12 other apps WON'T WORK with the new Firefox upgrade.. GEE, THAT'S NICE! WHY didn't you tell me that BEFORE I clicked the upgrade. That's the POLITE and PROPER way to do it. BESIDES THAT, I got an (an I think, PHONY) "looking for compatible apps installer" that ran & ran & ran & ran & ran & ran & ran AND APPEARED TO BE INSTALL-ING NOTHING AT ALL. It appears I may HAVE to UNINSTALL the upgrade and roll-back my browser because I REFUSE TO NOT USE THE APPS I WANT TO USE. LET'S GET IT TOGETHER, FIREFOX... IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT, LET'S NOT MAKE IT LESS BY MAKING USERS HAVE TO GIVE UP APPS THEY LIKE... George

    Do you recall what version you were using before the update? Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended.
    If Firefox disabled some add-ons (especially extensions), it likely is because they include a list of compatible Firefox versions and haven't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If they worked on Firefox 4, there is a very good chance they will work on Firefox 5.
    You can force Firefox to ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the add-ons important to you actually work in Firefox 5.

    Can anyone help me with this? I feel like Adobe has totally abandoned its old paying customers. Afterall, this is the ONLY WAY I can get info on the product. They've stopped even supporting direct customer service, leaving it up to "volunteer" customers to do it.

    Hey jonr26897887,
    We are really sorry for the inconvenience that is caused to you.
    Please let me know what version of Acrobat have you been using.

    What exactly is the trouble that you are facing?
    Please specify some more details so that we can help you out.

  • Why should I have pay $250 to rid myself of your products? Especially when you auto-renewed without my knowledge?

    I was paying $29 a month for a year membership. I found far better software for what I do 2/3rds through my membership and figured I'd just let the contract cancel itself. Come to find out, you're now charging me $49/month and I was told in a chat session I have to pay half of the remaining 10 months on the contract to cancel it. You can recite terms and conditions all you want, but since I wasn't properly notified, it's obvious you're trying to get away with something.
    You have 2 options.
    A) You cancel my membership, without the fee, and we go our separate ways. No harm done aside from this ridiculous waste of my time.
    B) You charge me that fee and I go out of my way to make sure people know how much you suck. I'm an art director and at well known studio. Try me.
    Your choice.
