Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a widely accepted standard for reading/writing data. ODBC is designed in a similar manner to the MS Windows printing system in that it has a Driver Manager and Drivers. MySQL Connector/ODBC is a driver for the ODBC system which allows applications to communicate with the MySQL server using the ODBC standard. ODBC implementations exist on all popular platforms and MySQL Connector/ODBC is also available on those platforms.
Oracle provides MySQL support for ODBC by means of the MySQL Connector/ODBC driver and programs. MySQLConnector/ODBC is the ODBC driver for MySQL which is ODBC 3.5x compliant; MyODBC is ODBC 2.5x compliant.To get all functionality from the ODBC 5.1 driver (e.g. transaction support) you should use it against MySQL Database Server 4.1 or later.
