Make that ODBC, and I'm with you.
The reason I say JDBC is the same reason EOF in WebObjects 5 uses it:
It's everywhere, and you don't need native code to deal with most
data sources. Unless I misunderstand something, ODBC requires
native-code libraries. It might be getting easier to convince
vendors to provide things like native database-access libraries, but
it's not yet a given. 100% Java JDBC access libraries are for the
most part.
(I suppose an ODBC framework could be written that defaults to
calling JDBC. This seems like extra abstraction for not much gain
though.)
