ODBC is "Open DataBase Connectivity", and although Psion and I disagree on this, it is a way of making all database transactions generic, reguardless of what database software you are using. This means that you could easily change from Access (*shudder*) to MySQL, without altering your code, because you are pointing to an ODBC "Datasource" instead of interfacing directly with the database, using a DB specific API.

As for tutorials, this is my bible, and has taught me well:

Enjoy it!
