26.1.2.1. Introduction to ODBC
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a widely accepted
application-programming interface (API) for database access. It
is based on the Call-Level Interface (CLI) specifications from
X/Open and ISO/IEC for database APIs and uses Structured Query
Language (SQL) as its database access language.
A survey of ODBC functions supported by MyODBC is given at
Section 26.1.16, “MyODBC API Reference”. For general information
about ODBC, see https://www.microsoft.com/data/.
