Terms or phrases - (O) Glossary Description
ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A database programming interface from Microsoft that provides a common language for Windows applications to access databases on a network. ODBC is made up of the function calls programmers write into their applications and the ODBC drivers themselves. For client/server database systems such as Oracle and SQL Server, the ODBC driver provides links to their database engines to access the database. For desktop database systems such as dBASE and FoxPro, the ODBC drivers actually manipulate the data. ODBC supports SQL and non-SQL databases. Although the application always uses SQL to communicate with ODBC, ODBC will communicate with non-SQL databases in its native language.
 
Off-line Not connected. This can apply to connection between a computer and another device such as a printer, or between a client computer and a server - for example you might connect to an email server, download your emails and then read them off-line, i.e. while disconnected.
