The Mimer SQL ODBC driver complies with the Microsoft Win32 ODBC 3.51 specification. The X/Open CAE specification Data Management: SQL Call-Level Interface (CLI).ODBC aligns with the following specification and standard for relational SQL database CLI definitions: This contrasts with an embedded API, such as Embedded SQL, where the API is defined as an extension of the source code for a programming language and applications using the API must be precompiled in a separate step. A CLI definition uses a native programming language to call functions therefore a CLI requires no extensions to the underlying programming language. A CLI is defined as a set of function calls and their associated parameters.

ODBC defines a call-level interface (CLI). Conversely, values in program variables can be written to the database.

Values from the database can be placed in program variables for manipulation by the application.

SQL statements can be incorporated into the application, allowing the application to retrieve and update values from a database. ODBC enables an SQL database to become an integral part of an application. Mimer SQL supports ODBC as one of its native APIs for applications written in C, C++, Microsoft Visual Basic and a large number of other development tools. Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard definition of an application programming interface (API) used to access data in a relational database.
