Remarks
Within the context of an OdbcConnection, SQL statements are executed and results are returned. If a connection to the ODBC data source cannot be established, an exception is thrown and the reason posted in the InfoLog.
In order to work, the proper ODBC drivers must have been installed and configured in the ODBC Manager in the Control Panel.
