Before You Begin

The programming components in Microsoft® SQL Server™ 6.5 enable you to develop sophisticated client/server applications that tap the power of Microsoft SQL Server from workstations running the Microsoft® Windows NT™, Microsoft® Windows® 95 and Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.

The Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface enables you to create applications that are interoperable with multiple database systems. The ODBC SQL Server driver enables you to create ODBC client/server applications that take maximum advantage of Microsoft SQL Server.
