Answer to Question 1

ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity. It is used to solve the problem caused by each DBMS having its own proprietary application program interface (API). OBDC was created to be a bridge between program code and the APIs. A programmer can write code using ODBC standard statements, and an ODBC driver translates these statements into a form that the DBMS API can understand. Similarly, results sent though the API back to OBDC are translated into standard ODBC forms. This allows application programmers to write to OBDC as a common interface rather than having to learn many APIs.

Answer to Question 2
