The `odbc_connect' function returns an `ODBCHandle' object which is used to
refer to the database connection in the other routines provided by this
! module. You can get general information about the connection with the
`odbc_info' function. This function returns a tuple of strings with the
! following items (see the corresponding item descriptions in the ODBC API
! reference for more information):
- DATA_SOURCE_NAME: the data source name

The `odbc_connect' function returns an `ODBCHandle' object which is used to
refer to the database connection in the other routines provided by this
! module. An ODBCHandle object is closed automatically when it is no longer
! accessible. You can also close it explicitly with a call to the
! `odbc_disconnect' function:
!
! ==> odbc_disconnect DB
!
! After `odbc_disconnect' has been invoked on a handle, any further operations
! on it will fail.

! You can get general information about an open database connection with the
`odbc_info' function. This function returns a tuple of strings with the
! following items (see the description of the SQLGetInfo() function in the ODBC
! API reference for more information):
- DATA_SOURCE_NAME: the data source name

! As of Q 7.11, a bunch of additional meta information is available using the
! odbc_getinfo function which provides a direct interface to the SQLGetInfo()
! routine. The result of odbc_getinfo is a byte string which can be converted to
! an integer or string value, depending on the type of information requested.
! For instance:
! ==> bint $ odbc_getinfo DB SQL_MAX_TABLES_IN_SELECT
! 31
! ==> bstr $ odbc_getinfo DB SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR
! "`"
