Does AEM 6.1 Support ODBC

[Thomas_H77]

I haven't seen any documentation to support this but figured I'd just ask here.

Does AEM 6.1 support ODBC or just JDBC for system connections?

This isn't really a restriction of AEM more than it is a restriction of Windows/Java.  There is an ODBC/JDBC bridge, but it will only work on a Windows environment and requires you to have a whole other setup for ODBC.  All the bridge does is allow JDBC to communicate with ODBC.  Certainly not something I think would be recommended for running in a production environment.  

Could you write a web service wrapper to communicate with the ODBC layer and just send the results as JSON to AEM?

This seems to be a nice approach. Thanks.
