ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is standard so that all applications can access data from database which are made in any DBMS(Database Management System) program like MS-SQL Server, Oracle, MS-Access, etc..

The ODBC Data Source Anministrator makes the data from any database, made from any DBMS available to all Windows Applications.

You don't need to bother about these settings unless your an Appications Developer and your project uses some DBMS.
