Open Database Connectivity or ODBC is a standard software API for connecting to database management systems of various brands.

ODBC was initially developed by Microsoft and is based on SQL, X/Open, and the ISO/IEC standard Call Level Interface (CLI). Most database management systems nowadays support ODBC which means that computer programs that rely on ODBC can connect to several different brands of DBMS' using the same basic code.
