It is the same type of chemical bond that is found in organic compounds: the covalent bond. Also known as 'the sharing of a pair of electrons', it forms usually single, & sometimes double bonds, and rarely triple bonds {- as in the case of a "pair of combining trivalent Nitogen atoms" - i.e. N triple-bond-N - this represents 'the sharing of three pairs of electrons' by two Atoms!}
I would say generally that ionic bonds hold inorganic compounds together because the definition of an organic compound is a carbon based compound, with few exceptions ( CO2, for one ).
NaCl
-----------inorganic and ionic
C6H12O6
---------------organic and covalently bonded
Na2CO3
----------------an ionically bonded inorganic compound, but the CO3 2-, carbonate, is polyatomic, covalently bonded internally and inorganic
Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compounds also)
ionic bonds or covalent bonds depending on the difference in the electronegativities between the two atoms forming bond.

COVALENT BOND
----
covalent bond can be seen in organic as well as in inorganic compounds
Ionic Bonds.
could be either ionic bonds or covalent bonds depending on the difference in the electronegativities between the two atoms forming bond.
Carbon forms covalent bond (in all organic compounds), inorganic bond (in metal carbides) and coordinate bond (in metal carbonyls).Carbon does not form metallic bond or hydrogen bond.
Chemical compounds can be classified according to the type of chemical bond that holds them together. They are ionic and covalent.
organic compounds have carbon - hydrogen bond. inorganic compounds do not
covalent bond can be seen in organic as well as in inorganic compounds
Ionic bonds do hold many inorganic compounds together (there are many covalently bonded inorganic compunds too) and organic compounds all contain carbon which always participates in a covalent bond.
Covalent bond can exist in any type of compounds.
