Glossary of terms:
 
Connections
The connections information in ODBC Statistics represent the total number of connections to ODBC the host or an application has.
 
Descriptors
ODBC descriptors contain information such as database table field details. The descriptor count represents the total number of descriptors and application or host is currently using.
 
Environments
The environments information represents the total number of ODBC environments that an ODBC application or host has created. Typically each ODBC application will create only one ODBC environment.
 
ODBC
Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC) provides a set of libraries allowing ODBC applications to gain database independant access to data. ODBC drivers are used by the libraries to provide an interface between ODBC and the various supported databases.
 
PID
The Process ID (PID) is a unique ID assigned by the operating system to each running program.
 
Qt
The Qt libraries provide platform independent routines for application developers. The Qt libraries provide a wide variety of functionality, including the graphical environment routines used by ODBC Statistics.
 
SQL
The Structured Query Language (SQL) provides a standard language for communicating with a database. SQL is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard. However, some SQL languages deviate from the standard to a degree.
 
Statements
The statements information represents the total number of ODBC statements (SELECT, UPDATE...) that are being made by ODBC applications or the host. An ODBC statement will include both the SQL statement, the query results and any parameters that were used.
