I believe the confusion you are having is between "high-level" and "low-level" ODBC access.

The samples show "low-level", where you explicitly do everything -- open the connection, run queries, scroll through record sets, and so on.

The "high-level" access is where you use define files to define a non-filePro file connected to an ODBC data source.  Once defined (with some limitations), you then access that file as you would any other filePro file.
