This chapter is intended
for application programmers and others who need information about
how the drivers are implemented. It provides information about support
for ODBC functions, SQL grammar, and SQL data types.
The drivers are ODBC 3.5 version drivers and conform
to the Core interface level. The following table identifies exceptions
to the Core interface conformance. Overwhelmingly, when the drivers
do not implement a function, it is because the type of SAS server
that the driver connects to does not provide the functionality. (In
this case, the type of SAS server is either
SAS/SHARE, SPD Server,
or Base SAS running PROC ODBCSERV.)
For applications that
use ODBC version 2.0, Level 1 interface functionality is included
in the ODBC version 3.5 Core interface level.
