Is ODBTP an ODBC-ODBC bridge?

Although ODBC is used on the server-side, ODBTP does not use ODBC on the client-side. Therefore, it is not an ODBC-ODBC bridge. While this decision greatly limits the usability of ODBTP, it makes it easier to use by some developers. Unlike the ODBC C client library, the ODBTP C client library is developer friendly. The library was designed to make it very easy to develop C applications, and modules for scripting languages like PHP. However, it is possible for someone to create an ODBC driver with the ODBTP client library.
