ODBC is an open API for accessing databases of all shapes and sizes
through a layer of libraries and drivers. The API was created by
Microsoft to be cross-platform... of course MS wouldn't think of writing
the ports to Unix theirselves so enter unixODBC. unixODBC is more than a
standards-compliant port of the ODBC API to Unix platforms, it also
includes many of the enhancements Microsoft supports. So pick your
favorite OS and join me as we walk through the world of platform
independent database connectivity.
