Oh, that's very unfair of me. ODBC isn't a free standard:

http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=34134&ICS1=35&ICS2=60&ICS3=&scopelist=

I always rely on Microsoft's pages:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714177.aspx

and sometimes I look at IBM's description:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iisclzos/v9r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ii.federation.classic.clientsref.doc/reference/iiyfcodbcrefodbccli.html
