Devart ODBC Driver for xBase

Devart ODBC Driver for xBase provides a high-performance and feature-rich connectivity solution for ODBC-compliant applications to access FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, dBase, and other databases in DBF file formats from Windows, macOS, and Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Full support for standard ODBC API functions and data types implemented in our driver makes interaction of your application with xBase fast, easy and extremely handy. Available in both installer formats, MSI and EXE.

Direct Connection

Our connectivity solution enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to FoxPro 2, Visual FoxPro, dBase (DBF), and other xBase databases, without involving any external libraries. This improves performance of your applications and streamlines the deployment process, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the driver.

Retrieval of Corrupted Data

ODBC driver for xBase provides options for ignoring corrupted data errors and metadata errors when opening a DBF table. Corrupted data is skipped, whereas the intact data is properly retrieved.

Advanced Data Conversion

We have implemented advanced Data Conversion mechanisms that provide bi-directional mapping between any xBase and ODBC data types.

Bulk Updates

Moreover, with our driver you can perform bulk updates to xBase database by combining SQL statements into batches, thus simplifying and speeding up large data modification to xBase.

Cost-Effective Deployment

Our ODBC driver is 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.

ODBC Conformance

The driver provides full support for common ODBC interface:

• ODBC API Functions support
• ODBC Data Types support

In addition, we provide support for Advanced Connection String parameters. Thus allowing any desktop and web applications to connect to xBase from various environments and platforms, that support ODBC.

xBase Compatibility

ODBC Driver for xBase supports:

• FoxPro 2, Visual FoxPro
• dBaseIII-dBase10
• Codebase, Clipper
• and other DBF file formats

Integration

The driver is compatible with 3rd-party tools for data analysis, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, etc.
