Explaination of Different Device Drivers ....

Hi Everyone
I have just joined this knowledge sharing community. I am novice learner in the field of Databases but quickly adapt to the new things.

I would like to know the clear and exact difference between the following device drivers that are categorized in the following manner.

1. JDBC-ODBC bridge plus and ODBC driver
2. Native API partly-Java Driver.
3. JDBC-Net pure Java Driver
4. Native Protocol pure Java Driver..

I am writing in lieu of the JDBC. I am refering the book of JDBC API tutotial but not quite able to get the differences between above of these drivers.

Please enlighten me
with regards
