----------------------------------------------------------- From: Sachinsny Message 2 in Discussion Basically its a standard or open application programming interface (API) for accessing a database. It can work as a bridge so by using the statements in a program, you can access files in a number of different databases, including Access, dBase, DB2, Excel, and Text. It allows programs to use SQL requests that will access databases without having to know the proprietary interfaces to the databases. It handles the SQL request and converts it into a request the individual database system understands. Let me know if you need more information. -Sachin -----Original Message----- From: Anjali_Mehta_DotNet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PuneUserGroup; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; kolkatanet; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; MS Dot Net Indore; BDOTNET; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Chennai .NET User Group; dotNET User Group Hyd; MumbaiUserGroup Subject: Understanding data providers,data drivers, Odbc,oledb etc New Message on BDOTNET Understanding data providers,data drivers, Odbc,oledb etc Reply Reply to Sender Recommend Message 1 in Discussion From: Anjali_Mehta_DotNet If i understand correctly ODBC drivers, OleDB provider or .net data providers... are programs which are implemented by database vendors for us to able to use database from a front end program? or can some one give me simpler terms to understand .. please i may sound silly .. but i have signed up these groups to get advices ..
