The Single-Tier ODBC-JDBC Bridge Driver is a single component installed on a data-consuming machine - depending on the architecture in which the driver is deployed, either a client such as a desktop, a workstation or an application-server machine. No components need be installed on the database server.
The OpenLink Single-Tier ODBC-JDBC Bridge Drivers are a Type B class of driver bound to the JDBC Driver Manager; hence, if you have a database you can access through JDBC, with this Bridge driver you can connect to it using ODBC, bringing support for OpenLink''s more advanced features such as scrollable cursors for performance.
