It responds to all ODBC connection requests made by applications, and it loads the ODBC drivers that are associated with the requests. The driver manager is a library, which manages communications between applications and ODBC drivers. These calls enable the application to connect to the data store and query the data store via the ODBC driver. These API calls are implemented by ODBC drivers that are customized for use with the data store. ODBC-compliant applications are executables, which issue ODBC API calls. Most end users use ODBC-compliant applications to access their data stores. ODBC data access comprises the following, four components: Application
