Driver

[1] ODBC driver software is comprised of dynamic link library files. These library files contain instructions which permit ODBC-compliant applications to interface with ODBC-compliant databases.

[2] Driver variables appear in the odbc.ini file. There is a [Default] Driver entry which exists apart from DSN's, and there are Driver entries within specific DSN stanzas. In either case, this variable must contain the absolute path to the driver which you want to use.

[3] /DRIVER is a connection parameter which is passed in Type 3 URL's. It passes the full path to the driver which you choose to utilize.
