An application program interface (API) is which of the following?

  • A.The same thing as ODBC.
  • B.Middleware that does not provide access to a database.
  • C.Middleware that provides access to a database.
  • D.The same thing as JDBC.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Middleware that provides access to a database.

An application program interface is the layer through which an application reaches a service, and in this context that service is the database. ODBC and JDBC are particular examples of such an interface rather than synonyms for the general term, and middleware that provides no database access is doing something else.
