In addition to normal ODBC support, the Unified ODBC functions
in PHP allow you to access several databases that have
borrowed the semantics of the ODBC API to implement their own
API. Instead of maintaining multiple database drivers that were
all nearly identical, these drivers have been unified into a
single set of ODBC functions.
</simpara>
<simpara>
The following databases are supported by the Unified ODBC
functions: <ulink url="&url.adabas;">Adabas D</ulink>,
<ulink url="&url.ibmdb2;">IBM DB2</ulink>, <ulink url="&url.iodbc;">
iODBC</ulink>, <ulink url="&url.solid;">Solid</ulink>, and <ulink
url="&url.sybase;">Sybase SQL Anywhere</ulink>.
</simpara>
<simpara>
Please see the <link linkend="database-support-options">Installation
on Unix Systems</link> chapter for more information about configuring
PHP with these databases.
</simpara>
<note>
<simpara>
There is no ODBC involved when connecting to the above
databases. The functions that you use to speak natively
to them just happen to share the same names and syntax
as the ODBC functions.
