<p>Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard database access method developed by the SQL Access group in 1992. ODBC, just like JDBC in Java, allows consistent client access regardless of which database management system (DBMS) is handling the data. ODBC uses a driver 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.</p>
<p>Teiid can provide ODBC access to deployed VDBs in the Teiid runtime through <a href="http://www.postgresql.org/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">PostgreSQL</a>'s ODBC driver. This is possible because Teiid has a PostgreSQL server emulation layer accessible via socket clients.</p>
