ODBC Driver for SQL Server

Devart ODBC Driver for SQL Server provides a high-performance and feature-rich connectivity solution for ODBC-compliant applications to access SQL Server databases from Windows, macOS, and Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Apple Silicon M1 is supported. Full support for standard ODBC API functions and data types implemented in our driver makes interaction of your application with SQL Server fast, easy and extremely handy. Available in both installer formats, MSI and EXE.

Key Features: *Direct Connection Our 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 ?lient. Direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an external application and SQL Server, which is crucial for data analysis in real time. It also streamlines the deployment process, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the driver.

*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.

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

*ODBC Conformance The driver provides full support for common ODBC interface:

• ODBC API Functions support
• ODBC Data Types support

Additionally, we support Advanced Connection String parameters to allow desktop or web applications to connect to SQL Server from various environments and platforms that support ODBC.

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

*SQL Server Compatibility Our driver is compatible with major and the latest SQL Server versions. SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2008 R2, 2008, 2005 (including Express edition) SQL Server 2000 (including MSDE) SQL Server Compact 4.0, 3.5, 3.1

*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.
