Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard API that allows
a single application to access a variety of data sources through
ODBC–compliant drivers.
ODBC Conformance
ODBC drivers manufactured by different vendors may vary widely in the functions they provide. Sybase IQ supports ODBC 3.5.2.
Installing ODBC Drivers
The Sybase IQ 32-bit ODBC driver is installed as part of the Network Client.
Managing ODBC Data Sources
On UNIX-like operating systems, ODBC data sources are stored in a system information file. Although this file is named .odbc.ini by default, it can have any name.
