- iODBC is the acronym for Independent Open DataBase Connectivity,
- an Open Source platform independent implementation of both the
- ODBC and X/Open specifications. It is rapidly emerging as the
- industry standard for developing solutions that are language,
- platform and database independent.
+ iODBC Driver Manager
+
+ iODBC (intrinsic Open Database Connectivity) driver manager
+ is compatible with ODBC 2.x and 3.x specification and
+ performs exact the jobs of a ODBC driver manager
+ (i.e. driver loading, Parameters and function sequence
+ checking, driver's function invoking, etc). Any ODBC driver
+ works with ODBC 2.0 and 3.x driver manager will also work
+ with iODBC driver manager and vice versa.
+
+ Applications (using ODBC function calls) linked with iODBC
+ driver manager will be able to simultaneously access
+ different type of data sources within one process through
+ suitable iODBC drivers.
