Chapter 1: Introduction to ODBC Programming

This chapter presents information for developing applications that call the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) programming interface directly.

The primary documentation for ODBC application development is the Microsoft ODBC SDK documentation. This chapter provides introductory material and describes features specific to Adaptive Server® Enterprise ODBC Driver by Sybase (referred to hereafter as ASE ODBC Driver) but is not a complete guide to ODBC application programming.
