ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity. Any database system supporting ODBC can be accessed.

I guess another historical left over. I believe there used to be a firebird component in Gambas 2, but because of firebird licenses not being conform GNU General Public license, it was removed from Gambas. > Is any of these not meant to be in the docs anymore?
