<h1 class="topictitle1">Get started with DB2 UDB CLI</h1>
<div><p>Learn about the basics of the DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB CLI, how it compares to embedded
SQL, and how to select the best interface for your programming needs.</p>
<p>It is important to understand what DB2 UDB CLI, or any callable SQL interface,
is based on, and compare it with existing interfaces.</p>
<p></p>
<p>ISO standard 9075:1999 Database Language SQL Part 3: Call-Level Interface
provides the standard definition of CLI. The goal of this interface is to
increase the portability of applications by enabling them to become independent
of any one database server.</p>
<p>ODBC provides a Driver Manager for Windows<sup>®</sup>, which offers a central point
of control for each ODBC driver (a dynamic link library (DLL) that implements
ODBC function calls and interacts with a specific Database Management System
(DBMS)).</p>
