Applications need to be able to interact with information stored in databases for data to be useful. What application programming interface language allows an application to communicate with a database either locally or remotely?
  1. Object Linking and Embedding Database
  2. ActiveX Data Objects
  3. Java Database Connectivity
  4. Open Database Connectivity
Explanation
Answer: D - Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is an application programming (API) interface language that allows an application to communicate with a database either locally or remotely. The application sends requests to the ODBC API. ODBC tracks down the necessary database-specific driver for the database to carry out the translation, which in turn translates the request to the database commands that a specific database will understand.
