A thin driver (Type 4) is pure java.
A "thick" driver (Type 2) uses JNI to link to the
database native platfornm drivers.
There is also a Type 1 driver which I understand to be
exclusive to the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
The Type 3 driver is sort of a combination of 2 and 4
where by there is a thin tier that communicates witha
second tier which may or may not be pure Java.
