DESCRIPTION:A database system normally consists of two parts - even thoug
 h it is not always obvious to the end user:\n\n - the database engine wh
 ich deals with the storage and querying of the data\n - some kind of use
 r interface which allows the user to write queries and see the results \
 n\nHowever\, not all database systems provide a user interface and there
  may be situations where a user would prefer to use their own user inter
 face\, e.g. Excel or R. Open Database Connector (ODBC) allows the user t
 o connect a user interface to a database engine. \n\nThis webinar will c
 over:\n\n - a basic definition of ODBC (Open Database Connector)\, where
  to obtain the software and how to install it \n - examples of using ODB
 C software to access different database systems from third party applica
 tions such as Excel and from programming languages like R and Python\n\n
 This introductory webinar is intended for researchers with no previous e
 xperience of programming or of using databases.
