ODBC - ODBC Architecture (Typical)
Knowledge Base

Automation Media's recommended most important key terminologies you need to know if you work in Automation, Controls, Brilliant Manufacturing, Operational & Industrial Intelligence or IoT etc. ; regardless of any vendor(s) you are dealing (Allen Bradley, GE Fanuc, Siemens, Modicon, Mitsubishi, Omron, Automation Direct etc).

There are basically two types of ODBC architecture:

  • Single Tier ODBC drivers

  • Multiple Tier ODBC drivers



  • Single tier drivers, such as the Microsoft® Access® driver, often operate directly on a database file or files.

  • A single tier ODBC driver processes both ODBC calls and the actual SQL commands.

  • In most cases, a configuration using a single tier driver can be contained on just one computer.



  • Multiple tier drivers are more common, and are typically used with a remote database server such as Oracle® and SQL Server.

  • Multiple tier ODBC drivers process ODBC calls made by the application, but pass the actual SQL command to the database system.



    • Typical architecture of a Relational Database Server and an ODBC driver
