Na računaru, na kom se izvršava program, u ODBC Data Sources definišeš vezu sa bazom podataka, koja može da bude bilo gdje (udaljeni računar pr.) i u bilo kom formatu (Access, MySQL, Excell, Text File ...). Ako program pristupa bazi podataka putem ODBC-a, onda nije važno gjde se baza nalazi i u kojem je formatu, dok god je veza u ODBC Data Sources pravilno definisana.

Hvala na odgovoru.

ODBC (pronounced as separate letters)
Short for Open DataBase Connectivity,
a standard database access method
developed by the SQL Access group in 1992.

The goal of ODBC is to make it possible to access any data from any application,
regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is handling the data.

ODBC manages this by inserting a middle layer, called a database driver ,
between an application and the DBMS. The purpose of this layer is to translate
the application's data queries into commands that the DBMS understands.
For this to work, both the application and the DBMS must be ODBC-compliant -
- that is, the application must be capable of issuing ODBC commands and
the DBMS must be capable of responding to them.
Since version 2.0, the standard supports SAG SQL.
