If you were wondering what JDBC and ODBC are, these are application programming interfaces. JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity while ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity. The code that you will be using for JDBC is known to be easy to understand, which is why those who are beginning to know how to code may want to use this first.
For ODBC, you can expect that the codes are going to be more complex. When it comes to running the codes, you can also expect that JDBC will be easier to run as compared to ODBC. If you are using an independent programming language, ODBC will be ideal, but if you are using Java, JDBC will be the better option.
