PROGRESS DATADIRECT ODBC DRIVERS

The Industry's Only Suite of Wire Protocol ODBC Drivers

The industry standard for ODBC driver database connectivity, the Progress DataDirect ODBC drivers deliver the fastest, most scalable application performance. DataDirect's ODBC drivers support all major databases and platforms, includingOracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase,Salesforce, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Teradata, and more. In addition to Windows, DataDirect 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC drivers are available for UNIX and Linux.

Unlike "classic" ODBC drivers from database vendors and other suppliers, DataDirect's unique wire protocol ODBC drivers eliminate the need to connect to the database through database client libraries. Eliminating client libraries such as Oracle SQL*Net and DB2 Connect means better response time and throughput and reduced cost and time in deploying and maintaining applications.

ODBC（Open Database Connectivity，開放資料庫互連）提供了一種標準的API（應用程式編程介面）方法來存取DBMS（Database Management System）。這些API利用SQL來完成其大部分任務。ODBC本身也提供了對SQL語言的支援，使用者可以直接將SQL語句送給ODBC。ODBC的設計者們努力使它具有最大的獨立性和開放性：與具體的程式語言無關，與具體的資料庫系統無關，與具體的作業系統無關。

在ODBC誕生之前，如果要開發資料庫應用程式,則必須要使用資料庫廠商隨資料庫產品一同發布的一些工具集來存取資料庫，或者在程式中使用嵌入式SQL來存取資料庫。當時，對於存取資料庫的方法，缺乏一個基於C語言的統一編程介面。在這種背景下，微軟於1992年發表了ODBC。之後，X/Open組織以及ISO標準化組織基於ODBC 3.0的規範，進一步進行了標準化，於1995年發表了SQL/CLI標準。該標準已經成為了SQL標準的一部分。
