Introducing ODBC

ODBC is a specification for an application program interface (API) that enables applications to access multiple database management systems using Structured Query Language (SQL).

ODBC permits maximum interoperability: a single application can access many different database management systems. This enables you to develop, compile, and ship an application without targeting a specific type of data source. Users can then add the database drivers, which link the application to the database management systems of their choice.
