Configure the ODBC driver

Configure the ODBC driver

To use an ODBC connection, you'll need to install the ODBC client and ODBC driver on your machine.
  • ODBC client is a front-end application installed in your machine. You use the ODBC client application to connect to databases.
  • ODBC driver is a back-end application installed on a computer that is used to store data for access by several users. An ODBC driver processes ODBC function calls, submits SQL requests to a specific data source, and returns results to the client application.
An ODBC client can access any database for which there is an ODBC driver.
