JDBC is the protocol that Java uses for database interaction.  You're
correct that it serves as a bridge from java to ODBC, but JDBC does a lot
more.  Aside from MS Access, all major databases provide native JDBC
drivers, bypassing the need to use ODBC, OLE, ADO, etc., which makes things
faster.  Access forces you to go via an ODBC bridge.
