Additional Prerequisites for 64-bit Windows

If you want to run this tutorial for 64-bit Windows, consider the following additional prerequisites:

The tutorial uses a 32-bit Microsoft access ODBC driver and the JDBC—ODBC bridge. Hence, you must install and use the 32-bit version of the JDK to execute the tutorial application.
These considerations do not apply to typical production applications on 64‑bit systems that use Oracle, IBM DB2, or Microsoft SQL Server. In such cases, the 64-bit JDK and native 64-bit JDBC drivers are recommended.
