With this example, you could devise an application that works with multiple database types (all using different drivers, connection strings, etc) -- but yes, the end driver is ODBC. There's nothing wrong with that. For example, if you wanted to do an application that used PgSQL, MySQL, and SQLite -- you would have to write different application code for all queries (as they don't all output the same type of objects, nor do they connect the same way). Using my method you could do everything with a simple layer, that would load the correct end-driver.. kind of like a universal driver I guess. You get it, right? @Michael
