ODBC API Question

Hi all,
Quick question about the ODBC API. Is there a function in the ODBC API that
I can call to determine what parameters a particular driver requires? For
instance, ODBC Administrator knows to allow you to select, create, repair or
compact an MS Access Database; but for SQL Server it offers different
options, including default database, use ANSI quoted identifiers, etc. Does
ODBC Administrator determine this via a function in the ODBC API, or is this
hard-coded into the ODBC Administrator?
Thanks,
Michael C.There are various API calls that you can make to figure this out,
ODBCAD32.EXE does this dynamically. Best is to use ODBC Test
t_overview.asp" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...
t_overview.asp
that comes with the MDAC SDK or the Platform SDK, it allows you to use all
these APIs interactively from a UI, so you can play around with them,
otherwise they are all documented in the programmer reference guide.
