Through ODBC we provide connections to Access, Fox Pro, Paradox, dBase, Excel, Postgress, MySQL and SQL drivers for Oracle, SyBase and Microsoft SQL Server. ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity. This is standard database access method developed by Microsoft which makes it possible to access any data from any application regardless of which database management system is handling the data. It does this by inserting a middle layer, called a database driver between an application and DBMS and the purpose of the layer is to translate the application data queries into commands that DBMS understands.
