Progress DataDirect OpenAccess SDK - Client for ODBC 8.1

Progress DataDirect OpenAccess SDK – Client for ODBC, by Progress DataDirect, is a standards-based ODBC driver that enables any ODBC-compliant application to connect to custom data sources you expose through the OpenAccess SDK. It lets BI, analytics, reporting, and integration tools query proprietary, SaaS, or legacy systems using familiar SQL—without requiring you to build and maintain a standalone ODBC interface.

Key capabilities:

• Standards-compliant ODBC connectivity to OpenAccess services
• Secure connectivity options with encryption and authentication
• High-performance wire protocol optimized for enterprise workloads
• Full Unicode support and 32/64-bit compatibility
• Connection pooling, rich metadata handling, and configurable SQL behavior
• Tracing and diagnostics to simplify troubleshooting
• Cross-platform availability for flexible deployment

Use it to:

• Provide ODBC access to non-relational or bespoke applications
• Enable governed, SQL-based access to internal APIs and services
• Embed reliable, standards-based data connectivity into commercial products

Benefits:

• Speeds time to market for custom data connectivity
• Centralizes data access logic in the OpenAccess service for easier maintenance
• Delivers consistent, secure, and performant access for all ODBC clients

Note: This client driver is used in conjunction with an OpenAccess Server and a service implementation created with the OpenAccess SDK.
