Description*
You can use the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) Version 2.0 standard to access data in non-Notes databases. Using formulas or scripts embedded in Notes objects, you can integrate the data from many external databases into Notes applications. For example, a customer call-tracking application in Notes can access customer financial data from an ODBC-compliant relational database management system.		Type*
