Anonymous Answer

A Network Protocol driver which uses an application server to convert JDBC calls directly or indirectly into the vendor-specific database protocol.
A Thin Driver which converts JDBC calls directly into the vendor-specific database protocol. This driver has the best performance, as it requires no client or server-side library, but it does depend on direct interaction with the Database.
