Description

Reliable and simple to use data connector for SQL Server. Compatible with multiple third-party tools. Devart ODBC Driver for SQL Server is a high-performance data connector with enterprise-level features for accessing SQL Server databases from ODBC-compliant reporting, analytics, BI, and ETL tools on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, macOS, and Linux. Our driver fully supports standard ODBC API functions and data types and enables easy and secure access to live SQL Server data from anywhere.

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 Client. 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 third-party tools for data analysis, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, DBeaver, etc.

Platforms Variety

ODBC Driver for SQL Server can be used with 32-bit and 64-bit applications on both x32 and x64 platforms, so there is no need to additionally configure the driver, applications or environment.

Fully Unicode-Compliant Driver

With our fully Unicode-compliant driver, you can properly 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

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 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

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.
