Hi, check out the following page
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/datasheet.html
Sun gives a full description of the driver types.
Basically type 4 driver:
This style of driver converts JDBC calls into the network protocol used
directly by DBMSs, allowing a direct call from the client machine to the
DBMS server and providing a practical solution for intranet access.
Type two driver:
A native-API partly Java technology-enabled driver: This type of driver
converts JDBC calls into calls on the client API for Oracle, Sybase,
Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Note that, like the bridge driver, this style
of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client machine.
