Is the database using an open architecture?
Yes, SQL Server is ODBC compliant and fully accessible using other ODBC compliant products. Individuals familiar with their favourite ODBC product may continue to use that product rather than learn a new tool to access SQL Server data. User modifications through ODBC interfaces will be managed and protected through SQL Server’s triggers and stored procedures.
