Key Benefits BenefitsMost ODBC drivers require the use of database client libraries such as Oracle SQL*Net to connect to the database. This creates performance bottlenecks and increases the amount of time and effort required for application maintenance. DataDirect ODBC drivers eliminate this unnecessary overhead by communicating directly to the database through the database's ownwire level protocol. - Improves application performance and scalability – Because DataDirect ODBC drivers don't require database client libraries, the associated memory, CPU, and network bottlenecks are eliminated, resulting in increased throughput, even as user loads increase.
- Simplifies application deployment and administration – You don't have to install and configure the database software on each client machine to access the database server. This simplifies installation and maintenance and considerably reduces the footprint on each machine.
- Improves application stability and uptime – Database client libraries introduce memory leaks, increasing the likelihood of application or platform hangs or crashes. Wire protocol drivers help you avoid these issues and dramatically improve application and environment reliability by eliminating the client.
In addition, DataDirect provides comprehensive database and platform coverage from one vendor, making it easy and cost effective to support multiple databases and database versions: - Supports all major databases – Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, Teradata, MySQL, Greenplum,PostgreSQL,Salesforce and more.
- One driver supports simultaneous connections to multiple versions of a database– This significantly reduces the cost of deploying and testing applications against multiple versions of a database.
- Supports all major platforms – Windows, Unix, and Linux.
- Supports 64 bit applications – Take full advantage of faster processing speeds with64bit ODBC drivers.
- Supports all major UNIX platforms – IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Sun Solaris across a wide range of processor architectures.
As a provider focused exclusively on data connectivity, DataDirect offers the most proven and technical robust line ofODBC drivers. Over 350 independent software vendors and thousands of corporations rely on DataDirect for the most demanding production environments. DOWNLOAD FREE TRIAL |
