when we use jdbc to connect DATABASE we have to add mysqlconnector.jar to the project.
1) but when we usin odbc we don't need to add any jar files.why?
2) in first case what is the job of the mysqlconnector.jar .is it act as a Driver or else?
It is a driver. Every database has a different driver and none of them are built into Java by default, therefore you need a database-specific driver for each type of database you want to use.

ODBC connection handled by the OS specific files (for Windows, its DLL and DSN services), which, in turn talks with the respective databases registered with it.
JDBC works same but the drivers are incorporated into Java code (Driver, .jar files), which in turn talks with the database. Its all lies in which type of Driver you are using .
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
