ODBC accomplishes DBMS independence by using an ODBC driver as a translation layer between the application and the DBMS.

MDAC architecture may be viewed as three layers: a programming interface layer, consisting of ADO and ADO.NET, a database access layer developed by database vendors such as Oracle and Microsoft (OLE DB, .NET managed ...
With the use of Microsoft's Terminal Services and Remote Desktop Application in Windows Server 2008 R2, organizations can host Access applications so they can be run over the web.

A standalone version of the Jet 4 database engine was a component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC), and was included in every version of Windows from Windows 2000 on. [9] The Jet database engine was only 32-bit and did not run natively under 64-bit versions of Windows.
The unixODBC project was first started in the early months of 1999 (by Peter Harvey) and was created as at that time the developers of iODBC (another open source ODBC implementation) were not then willing to LGPL the code, expand the API to include the current ODBC 3 API specification, and did not consider the addition of GUI based configuration tools worthwhile. iODBC now has these parts ...
Borland’s Turbo Pascal had a "database" Toolbox add-on, which was the beginning of the Borland compiler add-ons that facilitated database connectivity. Then came the Paradox Engine for Windows – PXENGWIN – which could be compiled into a program to facilitate connectivity to Paradox tables.

The ODBC driver needs to be installed on the client machine. Not suitable for applets, because the ODBC driver needs to be installed on the client. Specific ODBC drivers are not always available on all platforms; hence, portability of this driver is limited. No support from JDK 1.8 (Java 8).
