ODBC API

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard C-language API for accessing database management systems. ODBC allows applications to connect to any ODBC-compliant database using a unified programming interface, abstracting database-specific details through drivers. Originally developed by Microsoft and standardized by ISO/IEC in SQL/CLI (Call Level Interface).
