A year or so ago, I installed an evaluation product from another company that does this based on a customer support request.
Using our Generic JDBC connection and the proper url formation it worked well for what I was testing.

Feel free to contact me independently about what product I used to do this.

@QA,

Please test 32 and 64 bit versions of the ADS installers.

Oracle removed the JDBC odbc bridge in Java 1.8. This bridge is used to make generic odbc conn. From a QA perspective, we want to ensure that the the generic odbc functionality still works under windows. We need to test under:

- windows 32-bit using 32-bit ADS. 

- windows 64-bit using 64-bit ADS.

- windows 64-bit using 32-bit ADS.

Pls verify that you can create a generic odbc connection to MS Access & MS Excel as described above. 

Verified in ADS 17.0.0-dev-22

Verified on the following builds and operating system :

- windows 64-bit using 64-bit ADS.

- windows 64-bit using 32-bit ADS.

Not able to test and verify on windows 32-bit using 32-bit ADS as we do not have 32-bit operating systems.

Verified in ADS v17.0.0-dev-71
