IODBC
iODBC is an open-source initiative managed by OpenLink Software. It is a platform-independent ODBC SDK and runtime offering that enables the development of ODBC-compliant applications and drivers outside the Windows platform. The prime goals of this project are as follows: *Simplify the effort of porting ODBC applications from Windows to other platforms *Simplify the effort of porting ODBC drivers from Windows to other platforms *Create consistent ODBC-utilization experience across all platforms History iODBC emerged from a cooperative effort between OpenLink Software and Ke Jin. OpenLink Software produced a Driver Manager-less ODBC SDK that it branded as Universal DataBase Connectivity ( UDBC) in 1993, because of the sporadic nature of shared library implementations across Unix platforms. Ke Jin used UDBC as inspiration for building a Driver Manager for ODBC outside the windows platform. Over time Ke Jin and OpenLink Software decided to merge this effort into a single open- ...

UnixODBC
{{Portal, Free and open-source software unixODBC is an open-source project that implements the ODBC API. The code is provided under the GNU GPL/LGPL and can be built and used on many different operating systems, including most versions of Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, IBM OS/2 and Microsoft's Interix. The goals of the project include: *Provide developers with the tools to port Microsoft Windows ODBC applications to other platforms with the minimum of code changes. *Maintain the project as a vendor neutral interface database SDK *Provide people who write ODBC drivers the tools to port their drivers to non Windows platforms *Provide the user with a set of GUI and command line tools for managing their database access *Maintain links with both the free software community and commercial database vendors, to ensure interoperability History 1999 The unixODBC project was first started in the early months of 1999 (by Peter Harvey) and was created as at that time the developers of iODBC (an ...
