2.2.8.4 ODBC Connections

  • Article

An ODBC connection is a connection to an ODBC data provider. An external connection is an ODBC connection if the idbtype field of the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.80) record is DBTODBC (section 2.5.31). Properties of an ODBC connection are specified by a BrtBeginECDbProps (section 2.4.61) record that MUST follow the BrtBeginExtConnection (section 2.4.80) record. If an ODBC connection has parameters, these parameters are specified by a BrtBeginECParams (section 2.4.64) record. For more information about ODBC, see [MSDN-OpenDBConnectivity].
