ODBC is the Microsoft connectivity standard and has nothing to do with DRDA.
DRDA is the IBM connectivity standard.
The only "DRDA" compliant databases I am aware of are DB2 (PC, Server,
Linux, Unix, iSeries and Mainframe) and Informix. Oracle and Sybase both
have DRDA connectors as options. DB2 is ODBC compliant as a server, not as a
client.
Microsoft does not have a DRDA connector, but you can use ODBC or JDBC to
connect "FROM" a MSSQL server to a DRDA database.

Yep, basically like DDM.

DDM is the iSeries client side implementation of DRDA.  The iSeries can be
both a DRDA server and a DRDA client.  DRDA is an open standard for
accessing remote DBs.  OBDC is a result of the perversion of the DRDA
standard.

SQL server, among others can be DRDA clients but not DRDA servers.  So in
SQL server, a linked table is a DRDA connection from SQL server to the
iSeries.
