Features

• Direct Connection - This connectivity solution enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to SQL Server via TCP/IP to eliminate the need for SQL Server Сlient. Direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an external application and SQL Server for real-time analytics. It also streamlines the deployment process, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the driver.
• Integration - The driver is compatible with 3rd-party data analysis tools, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, etc.
• Platforms Variety - The driver can be used with 32-bit and 64-bit applications on both platforms, so there is no need to configure the driver, applications or environment.
• Fully Unicode-Compliant Driver - You can retrieve and modify any data in multilingual SQL Server databases, regardless of their character set: Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Chinese, etc., and in any language environment.
• Cost-Effective Deployment - A standalone installation file that doesn't require the user to deploy and configure any additional software such as a database client or a vendor library. Deployment costs are reduced drastically, especially when using the silent install method with an OEM license in large organizations that have hundreds of machines.
• Secure Connection - Work with SQL Server securely using SSL connection options provided in our driver along with the support for SSL protocol. You can also connect to SQL Server securely via SSH tunnel. SSH protocol is one of the most reliable protocols for data encryption.
• Advanced Data Conversion - Advanced Data Conversion mechanisms have been implemented that provide bi-directional mapping between any SQL Server and ODBC data types.
• ODBC Conformance - The driver provides full support for the ODBC interface, its functions, and data types. It offers advanced connection string parameters and allows any ODBC compliant desktop or web application to connect to SQL Server from various environments and platforms.
• Bulk Updates - You can perform bulk updates by combining SQL statements into batches, thus simplifying and speeding up large data modification.
• High Performance - Every operation with SQL Server becomes significantly faster using features such as local data caching, connection pooling, and much more.
• Verified Compatibility With Data Integration Tools - Devart ODBC drivers are verified to be compatible with leading analytics and reporting tools, various IDEs, and programming languages. Get fast and secure access to your data in any application:
