JDBC-ODBC bridge
        

Translates JDBC calls to ODBC calls, and sends them to the ODBC driver.

Advantages Allows access to many different databases.

Disadvantages The ODBC driver, and possibly the client database 
libraries, must reside on the ColdFusion server computer. Performance is 
slower than other JDBC driver types.

Adobe does not recommend this driver type unless your application 
requires DBMS-specific features.
