Abstract:
1. A method for enabling a Java application, that is a client of a JDBC driver, to access data from an object linking-embedding database (OLE DB) via utilization of a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) interface, comprising the steps of: (a) initiating a Java application to contact said Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver; (b) bridging, by said JDBC driver, to an OLE DB data provider, to provide a JDBC interface between said JDBC driver and said OLE DB database, wherein said bridging step includes the steps of: (b1) providing a series of Java classes that implement said JDBC interface; (b2) implementing a Datalink Library in C++ for said Java classes to act as an OLE DB client for said OLD DB data provider; and (b3) connecting said Java classes to said OLE DB client to enable utilization of said OLE DB data provider.
