ODBC
"The goal of ODBC is to make it possible to access any data from any application, regardless of which database management system is handling the data".
ODBC is an abbreviation for "Open DataBase Connectivity, a standard database access method developed by Microsoft Corporation. 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, or interface, 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.
DPN™ has designed an ODBC interface allowing users to access their DPN™ data from a windows environment. More specifically, using Microsoft Access, and our interface, you have access to DPN™ data for import to other programs, including reports, which can be customized and printed on any windows compatible network printer.
Our ODBC interface saves hours of work over other systems by allowing the user to access data without creating additional data files or converting existing data. The interface allows you full access to your DPN™ data for analysis and presentation while protecting the integrity and security of the system.
