Has anyone looked into extracting the jdbc-odbc bridge from an earlier and using it with JRE8 ?
The JDBC-ODBC Bridge allows applications written in the Java programming language to use the JDBC API with many existing ODBC drivers. The Bridge is itself a driver based on JDBC technology ("JDBC driver") that is defined in the class sun.
The JDBC type 1 driver, also known as the JDBC-ODBC bridge, is a database driver implementation that employs the ODBC driver to connect to the database. The driver converts JDBC method calls into ODBC function calls.
Is the JDBC-ODBC Bridge multi-threaded? No. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support concurrent access from different threads. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge uses synchronized methods to serialize all of the calls that it makes to ODBC.
No. ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity which literally means that it is compatible with all types of languages such as C, C++, Java, etc. JDBC Stands for Java database connectivity i.e only compatible with java language. ODBC was introduced by Microsoft prior to JDBC in 1992.
While this doesn't exactly answer your question, I was hunting for a free JDBC driver for Access, and found UCanAccess. I had success with this particular driver as a replacement while using SquirrelSQL with Access. Seeing as how your question is tagged ms-access, perhaps this might be an acceptable replacement for you.
