ODBC

ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)

A standard protocol that permits applications to connect to a variety of external database servers or files. ODBC drivers used by the ODBC driver manager permit access to SQL Server and several other data sources, including text files and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

The ODBC application programming interface (API) may also be used to access ODBC drivers and the databases they connect to without using the Microsoft Jet database engine.
