What is ODBC?

ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standard API that allows applications to access data from a variety of database management systems (DBMS). It acts as a middleware, translating generic queries into the specific language understood by each database. This enables applications to remain independent of the underlying database, improving portability and flexibility. It's commonly used for connecting applications like Excel or reporting tools to databases like SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL.
