First I just repeat that examples are here:

Second: Despite confusing remarks above, using unified ODBC functions you can really connect to any
database for which you create DSN (Data Source Name). That is: using unified ODBC functions you can
connect to _any_ database for which you have ODBC driver. Drivers exists or example Interbase,
VisualFoxPro, DBase III,IV,V etc, many drivers are part of Win98 installation, other can be obtained
from companies like EasySoft and Merant. ODBC is one of the most flexible ways for connecting to
databases. This is because ODBC driver exist for almost every database there is. The question is,
whether the driver is free. At least there are many 30 days trial versions of drivers.
