Question

Where can one find HP drivers?

Answer

The ODBC specification offers a procedural API for using SQL queries to access data. An implementation of ODBC will contain one or more applications, a core ODBC library, and one or more "database drivers". The core library, independent of the applications and DBMS systems, acts as an "interpreter" between the applications and the database drivers, whereas the database drivers contain the DBMS-specific details. Thus a programmer can write applications that use standard types and features without concern for the specifics of each DBMS that the applications may encounter. Likewise, database driver implementors need only know how to attach to the core library. This makes ODBC modular.
