ODBC is the Open Database Connectivity software component which requires an ODBC client, an ODBC driver and an ODBC server. ODBC clients run from the client application which requires sending database calls to the server. A database server would have the ODBC server components installed. These components translate the ODBC commands to the SQL commands which could be compiled and executed by the database server. The ODBC server components send back the results sets in the as ODBC call back to the ODBC driver to the client applications.
