JDBC -ODBC Bridge Driver .This types of driver used JDBC to talk to ODBC Driver. Note that some ODBC binary code and in many cases database client code must be loaded on each client machine that uses this driver.
A native-API partly-Java driver converts JDBC calls into calls on the client API for Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Note that, like the bridge driver, this style of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client machine.
A net-protocol all-Java driver translates JDBC calls into a DBMS-independent net protocol which is then translated to a DBMS protocol by a server. This net server middleware is able to connect its all Java clients to many different databases.
A native-protocol all-Java driver converts JDBC calls into the network protocol used by DBMS directly. This allows a direct call from the client machine to the DBMS server and is a practical solution for Intranet access.
