JAVA 8 JDBC ODBC BRIDGE DRIVERS
Oracle recommends that you use JDBC drivers provided by the vendor of your database instead of the JDBC-ODBC Bridge. The JDBC ODBC bridge that we were used to in Java, 5, 6, and 7 is no longer supported in Java 8. Users that wish to remain on Java 7 so they can continue to use the bridge can always add the entry back to dbdrivers.xml.
JAVA 8 JDBC ODBC BRIDGE DRIVER
This gives me the impression that either Microsoft or another third party has created a driver out there somewhere for accessing MS Access databases. We won't remove it when users upgrade, but we will no longer include it for new installations. Since Oracle has removed the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver for accessing MS Access databases using Java, they recommend using vendor-specific drivers that use JDBC technology instead of the Bridge. Oracle recommends that you use JDBC drivers provided by the vendor of your database.
I can confirm that using it with Java 8 will yield an exception similar toĬaused by: : at $1.run(Unknown Source) at $1.run(Unknown Source) at (Native Method) at (Unknown Source) at (Unknown Source) at (Unknown Source) at 0(Native Method) at (Unknown Source) at .(DatabaseConnectorService.java:62). Oracle does not support the JDBC-ODBC Bridge from Java 8. The use of JDBC drivers provided by database. Since Java 8 does not support jdbc odbc bridge. It appears that the JDBC-ODBC Bridge has been removed by Oracle in Java 8. In addition, it was removed in Java Development Kit (JDK) 8, and Oracle does not support the JDBC-ODBC Bridge. This class is used to connect database using Object database connectivity driver such as Microsoft access.
