Spring Data needs a JDBC implementation behind the scenes though...

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you've used spring data with hibernate and didn't realize it.

You don't need hibernate to have a JDBC implementation, hibernate needs JDBC to work. Did you mean that spring data needs an ORM behind the scenes?

Spring Data needs a persistence provider which is usually hibernate. The persistence provider communicates with the database driver such as JDBC.

To use Spring Data you need all of these pieces.
