Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standardized API (Application Programming Interface) that allows database connectivity. ODBC permits maximum interoperability—a single application can access many different database management systems. This enables an ODBC developer to develop, compile, and deploy an application without targeting a specific type of data source. Users can add the database drivers that link the application to the database management systems of their choice.
