About the ODBC Client

The ODBC Client supports ODBC applications through a component called the SequeLink for ODBC driver. On Linux, UNIX, and Windows platforms, the SequeLink for ODBC driver is compliant with the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) 3.5 specification.

ODBC is an Application Program Interface (API) specification that allows applications to access multiple database systems using Structured Query Language (SQL). ODBC provides maximum interoperability-a single application can access many different database systems. This allows an ODBC developer to develop, compile, and ship an application, without targeting a specific type of data source. Users can then add the database drivers, which link the application to the database systems of their choice. The ODBC driver can connect all commercial ODBC-compliant applications with server databases.

For instructions on installing the ODBC Client, refer to the SequeLink Installation Guide.
