The Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface is a programming language interface defined by Microsoft Corporation as a standard interface to database management systems in the Windows and Windows NT environments.
This chapter presents information for those who use the ODBC interface directly. Users of application development systems that already have ODBC support do not need to read this chapter.
The primary documentation for ODBC application development is the ODBC SDK, available from Microsoft. This chapter describes features specific to Adaptive Server Anywhere, but is not an exhaustive guide to ODBC application programming.
