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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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>.
