Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is an application programming (API) interface language that allows an application to communicate with a database either locally or remotely. The application sends requests to the ODBC API. ODBC tracks down the necessary database-specific driver for the database to carry out the translation, which in turn translates the request to the database commands that a specific database will understand.
