    Just i want to know what do it mean exactly connectivity standard ?

    Does it mean the way to connect the database with application like ODBC engine or ........etc

    well that's why i posted the wiki link..it explains it much better than i could in a forum post.

    ODBC is what provides a stadnard set of rules for accessing different database systems.

    ODBC accomplishes DBMS independence by using an ODBC driver as a translation layer between the application and the DBMS. The application uses ODBC functions through an ODBC driver manager with which it is linked, and the driver passes the query to the DBMS. An ODBC driver can be thought of as analogous to a printer or other driver, providing a standard set of functions for the application to use, and implementing DBMS-specific functionality.
