ODBC Conformance Levels

CA IDMS Server conforms to the ODBC 3.5 standard. It also provides the functions defined in the ODBC 2.5 specification to continue support for older applications.

Unless otherwise noted, all descriptions of ODBC in this document refer to ODBC 3.5. Microsoft ODBC documentation specifies ODBC conformance in two areas: ODBC API conformance and ODBC SQL conformance. A driver must support all functionality in a conformance level in order to claim conformance to that level, but is not restricted from supporting some of the functionality of higher levels. ODBC defines functions that allow an application to determine the functionality supported by a driver in detail, including the API and SQL conformance levels, specific API function, data type, and scalar function support.
