Debian – openjdk-8 for Debian 10

debianopenjdk

I need to install openjdk-8 on a docker container based on the latest python image (debian 10), but the openjdk-8-jdk package has been removed from the stable debian repository.
I've already tried the usual
apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
and apt-cache search openjdk only returns the openjdk-11.

The answer over at SO is nicer:

wget -qO - https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/api/gpg/key/public | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository --yes https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/deb/

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adoptopenjdk-8-hotspot

Debian – Installing Microsoft ODBC driver to Debian

I followed the directions on the Microsoft documentation using python:3.6-slim and it appeared to install correctly with a few caveats

You'll need these packages to follow the directions

apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl apt-transport-https gnupg2

The Docker image doesn't have curl, apt-transport-https is required to use Microsoft's repo with https protocol, and gnupg2 is needed for the apt-key command

FROM python:3.6-slim

RUN apt-get update \
        && apt-get install -y curl apt-transport-https gnupg2 \
        && curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add - \
        && curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/9/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list \
        && apt-get update \
        && ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install -y msodbcsql17 mssql-tools

and it looks like this adds an /etc/odbcinst.ini that points at the driver

cat /etc/odbcinst.ini
[ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]
Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
Driver=/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.2.so.0.1
UsageCount=1

so you should be able to connect via the "ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server" ODBC driver

Does OpenJDK contain a JRE

I think you have a couple different issues at play here.

The best place to get OpenJDK and its related JRE is from the adoptopenjdk web site. On that site you can get a 64-bit Java 11 JRE available for Windows.
The third party app you are trying to run and is complaining about Java 1.8.0 not being installed is likely poorly written. It is impossible to say without knowing exactly which app you are talking about, but my guess is that it is checking the Windows registry to see specifically whether Java 1.8.0 is installed. For some reason not known to me Oracle encodes release info into its Windows installer product key. This means any program specifically looking for (for example) Java 8u31 will not recognize an installation of Java 8u232.
