UseODBCDatabase()

Syntax

Result = UseODBCDatabase()

Initialize the ODBC database environment for future use. It attempts to load the ODBC driver and allocate the required resources. If Result is 0, then the ODBC driver is not available or is too old (ODBC 3.0 or higher is needed) and the Database functions should not be used.

After calling UseODBCDatabase(), a database has to be opened using OpenDatabase() or OpenDatabaseRequester() before using any other Database functions.

It is possible to obtain a list of available drivers by calling the function ExamineDatabaseDrivers().
