Users may also encounter another driver manager created by Visigenic and maintained by Intersolv, Merant, and Data Direct respectively. OpenLink's default Mac OS X client installer provides an iODBC frameworks-based driver manager. Apple's Jaguar installer provides an iODBC dylibs-based driver manager. Users may also encounter unixODBC, mac:ODBC, and other driver managers. These libraries implement ODBC API functions, which enable applications to speak to databases. Typically, applications are linked against driver managers, which load the appropriate driver libraries.
However, applications may be linked directly to drivers. In this instance, driver libraries perform driver manager library functions.
