This chapter
is intended for application programmers and others who need information
about how the SAS ODBC Driver is implemented. It provides information
about the driver's support for ODBC functions, SQL grammar, and SQL
data types.
The Microsoft ODBC specification defines three levels
of conformance for ODBC functions: Core, Level 1, and Level 2. The
SAS ODBC Driver is ODBC 3.5 compliant and supports the Core level.
The ODBC 2.0 Level 1 functionality is included in the ODBC 3.5 Core
level.
