Class.forName()

843854Aug 4 2004 — edited Aug 4 2004
Hi All,

When we use JDBC ODBC bridge drive we generally use Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.......") to basically load the driver class and then we can use this driver.

When we use any other class object we don't use Class.forName() method and we can directly use the object of the class.

Why is it so?

Please help me out.

Thanks
