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. The exception to this is iODBC. Building PHP with iODBC
support enables you to use any ODBC-compliant drivers with your PHP
applications. iODBC is maintained by <ulink url="&url.openlink;">
OpenLink Software</ulink>. More information on iODBC, as well as a
HOWTO, is available at <ulink url="&url.iodbc;">www.iodbc.org</ulink>.
