Replacement for JDBC-ODBC Bridge

In Java 8 the JDBC-ODBC-Bridge will be removed. The typical error is:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

Do you know of a possible replacement? I found Easysoft. But this bridge required an additional server which not run inside the Java VM. It is a type 3 driver and not a type 1 driver. Are there other alternatives?

Solution

  • In the meantime we have written our own JDBC-ODBC-Bridge based on JNA for our reporting software i-net Clear-Reports. Currently the driver is not an official product. But if you have interest then you can contact us.
