Is ODBC a general standard or just represent a way of database
connectivity. If I wanted to write a C++ module using ODBC, is there
a fairly standard API interface or is it completely different on various
platforms and drivers ?

What are some good sources of information on ODBC, particularly for C++
development, books, web sites ? I am interested in the AIX unix platform.

I was told alot of ODBC books are out of print by softpro.

Thanks

Linux, Unix - pick your version, OpenVMS)
