What is ODBC? Explain its purposes
ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity is an interface written in C program.
Oracle ODBC Driver provides a standard interface that allows one application to
access many different data sources. The application's source code does not have
to be recompiled for each data source. A database driver links the application
to a specific data source. A database driver is a dynamic link library that an
application can invoke on demand to gain access to a particular data source.
Therefore, the application can access any data source for which a database
driver exists. Access to databases is managed by the Microsoft ODBC Driver
Manager. The driver manager provides the linkage between an ODBC application
and an ODBC driver for a specific database management system.
