ODBC API Implementation Details

[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-asdb-asdw-pdw-md]

Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a Microsoft Win32 application programming interface used by applications to access data in ODBC data sources.

The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client ODBC driver reference does not document all of the ODBC function calls. Only those functions that have driver-specific parameters or behaviors when used with the [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client ODBC driver are discussed.

The [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Native Client ODBC driver complies with the ODBC 3.51 specification. For a comprehensive reference of ODBC 3.51, download the Microsoft Data Access Components SDK from the Data Access and Storage Developer Center, or view the ODBC Programmer's Reference online.
