The jdbc-odbc bridge has come with every version of the Sun jdk since at least 1.1.4. And it does everything you asked for.

You are saying the bridge doesn't exist in linux?

Or you are saying that you can't set up ODBC in linux - which is an entirely seperate problem from java?

The Microsoft site has a MS SQL type 4 driver which I believe is free - but read the license. You can search this forum for a direct link.

The Oracle (OTN) site has the Oracle thin driver (type 4) which you can download. Again you must read the license to determine the actual usage that you are permitted.

I don't know of any text file drivers.

I presume it exists. It certainly exists in Solaris.

The first step is that you install ODBC. Unlike windows it isn't necessarily installed.

Then you have to find ODBC drivers. Oracle ones exist. I am pretty sure MS SQL Server ones do not. You can probably find some very good ones for text files.
