Could anyone tell me the difference between library and native library in terms of java? I found the word “native library” in the following line:
Type 1 – drivers that implement the
JDBC API as a mapping to another data
access API, such as ODBC. Drivers of
this type are generally dependent on a
native library, which limits their
portability. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge
driver is an example of a Type 1
driver.
which you can found here
“Native Library” generally means a non-Java library that’s used by the system (so C/C++, etc). Think normal DLLs or libs.
Java can load these native libraries through JNI.
