# Processing Results How-to Topics (ODBC)
  Processing results in an ODBC application involves first determining the characteristics of the result set, then retrieving the data into program variables by using either [SQLBindCol](../../relational-databases/native-client-odbc-api/sqlbindcol.md) or [SQLGetData](../../relational-databases/native-client-odbc-api/sqlgetdata.md).
