JDBC ODBC bridge for Mac OSX

Question

I am having a hard time establishing a connection to my database file using JDBC-ODBC bridge. The driver I am using is sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver but I believe it is not present on Mac OSX by default and hence throws an exception for class not found.

I googled for the driver but could not find much useful information. Can somebody please help me establish the connection? Or send me any link which contains information I am looking for?

Thanks,

If i recall you need a database specific driver.. fore example `com.mysql.jdbc.Driver` for mysql. — prodigitalson, May 25 '10 at 14:23

Sun's and Oracle's official positions have long been that --

the [JVM-bundled] JDBC-ODBC Bridge should be considered a transitional solution [...] Oracle does not support the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.

However, my employer, OpenLink Software, has produced enterprise-grade commercial Type 1 Bridges between JDBC and ODBC since JVM 1.0. Current versions are fully compatible with Java 6, 7, and 8, and with OS X, from Lion to Yosemite (10.7 - 10.10). You can learn more here --
