Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) provides a common C programming interface for applications to access data from database management systems.

Access to databases is managed by the ODBC Driver Manager. The driver manager provides the linkage between an ODBC application and an ODBC driver for a specific database management system.

Oracle ODBC Driver provides access to Oracle databases for applications written using the ODBC interface.

Oracle Technology Network has both Oracle home based ODBC driver and Instant Client enabled ODBC driver.
