ODBC stands for Open Data Base Connectivity. It is a connection that is created to define a connection between a computer and a database stored on another system. The ODBC connection contains information needed to allow a computer user to access the information stored in a database that is not local to that computer. You need to define the type of the database application - like Microsoft SQL or Oracle or FoxPro or mySQL. Once you have defined the type of database you need to select or supply the appropriate driver for a connection (Windows already contains many of these) and then supply the name of the database file and the credentials needed to access the database.
Once the ODBC connection is created, you can tell specific programs to use that ODBC connection to access information in that database.

Is it possible to access databases through C-CPP and if so how?
Most database vendors offer an API for this purpose. The usage will vary by vendor, but generally you open a connection, query (or runcommand), check or step through results, close connection. In the MS Windows environment, you can also use ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), which is an API that abstracts (no, its not C++ classes) the database, its tables, and its query language. You still have to install a vendor specific ODBC driver, and a vendor specific database client, so you still need to consult the vendor documentation. The procedure is similar to the non ODBC solution - you open the connection, query it, step through the results cursor, and close the connection.
