Hi,

if I want to access a Database via SQL, there are different ways of
doing it.
In order to be Database-independent, i use ODBC at the Moment (i am
developing for Windows).
However, i want to start making Cross-Platform Programs and I wonder if
ODBC is "available" under Linux as well.
I surely could use direct Database access via the various APIs (which
would be the technically best solution), but that is quite... ...complex
to do.

So: Is there a generic Database Access Method commonly used under Linux?
I am developing in C/C++, so JDBC is not an option unfortunately - ODBC
would be just right, but i do not really know if it is used under Linux.

Thanks!
