ODBC

ODBC is one of the primary MDAC technologies (the two others being ADO and OLE DB).
With ODBC, only relational databases can be accessed.
A follow-up API to ODBC was/is OLEDB.

OLE DB Provider for ODBC

The OLE DB provider for ODBC is MSDASQL. It is implemented in %CommonProgramFiles%\System\ole db\msdasql.dll.
The OLE DB provider for ODBC is primarly meant to be used as a workaround for OLE DB applications that need to access data sources for which no OLE DB provider, but an ODCB driver, exists.
If an OLE DB connection string is missing the provider key, the system defaults to this Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (or short: «MSDASQL»).
The CLSID of MSDASQL is {C8B522CB-5CF3-11CE-ADE5-00AA0044773D}.
