Connecting to and disconnecting from the data source.
Checking for function errors not checked by the Driver Manager.
Initiating transactions; this is transparent to the application.

Sending data to and retrieving data from the data source, including converting data types as specified by the application.
Mapping DBMS-specific errors to ODBC SQLSTATEs.
