Question:
I'm trying to test the JDBC-ODBC bridge with JDBCTest tool and it gives me the following error:

registerDriver() Failed: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun/jdbc/odbc/JdbcOdbcDriver

What's the problem?

Answer:
It looks like the jar file containing the class is not in your class path. You should use the JDK 1.2 java -cp option to add the directory or jar file to your runtime classpath.
