Do we have a visual [JDBC ODBC bridge](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/EJK/jdbc/pg_startedintroj.htm) getting started guide? Unfortunately, I’m a visual learner and I can’t find visual resources on how to set it up on my device. I’m using Microsoft Server

From looking at usual resources was not able to find one for you here. I’d recommend you check the JDBC drivers list, you might be able to just find a JDBC driver that you need instead of using the bridge. That would be easier for you:

> **[Drivers & Data Source Connectors | CData](https://www.cdata.com/drivers/#all)**
>
> Industry-Leading Connectivity with Analytics, Reporting, ETL Tools, and Custom Apps.

Alternatively, you could explain the use case here a bit and either me or someone else could probably walk you through it.

Thanks Erold. I’m just trying to install it, and I was asked specifically to install a JDBC ODBC bridge to connect an OPA using JDBC to a DB with no JDBC driver (Deltek ComputerEase)

I tried to follow the getting started guide but I’m not confident I followed them correctly. The connection is still not working and I can’t tell that I followed the getting started instructions correctly because I’m&nbsp;visual.
