From article <1992Aug26.170900.19408@aruba.uucp>, by matthewp@ruby.aruba.UUCP (Matthew Pope):
> I am researching Microsoft's ODBC standard, specifically what major RDBMS are supporting it and when.  I'm particularily interested in 32bit WIN32S support.  For those who don't know, ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity.  It is a Call Level Interface (CLI) standard for SQL that MicroSoft has put forth, based on standards by the SQL Access Group and X/Open.  This call level interface allows applications to interoperate with database vendors that supply ODBC drivers.

How does ODBC compare with Borlands BOCA ?

Are they compatible or are heading down their own paths ?

Is ODBC only going to be for Win32/Win3.1 or will it spread out to other 
environments ?
