RELEASE NOTES: OPENACCESS SDK

JDBC

• JDBC client is 100% Pure Java Type 4 JDBC and JDBC 3.0 compliant, implemented from DataDirect’s leading Connect for JDBC driver

ADO.NET

• ADO.NET client is 100% managed code and ADO.NET 1.1 compliant, implemented from DataDirect’s leading Connect for ADO.NET provider
• ADO.NET client is 100% managed code based and offering ADO.NET 2.0 and 3.5 compliant APIs offering pluggability into Microsoft Enterprise Libraries, Data Access Application Blocks (DAAB)

Specification Compliance

• Built on the same framework as the DataDirect Connect line of ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, and ADO.NET products, offering a higher level of compliance to the respective standards
• 64-bit ADO (OLE.DB) client improves integration with Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2005, 2008 and 2010

Testing & Certification

• Tested using DataDirect’s testing suite, the industry’s largest, most mature testing framework. This ensures that drivers built with OpenAccess SDK will work with hundreds of third-party applications that use ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET.

Performance & Scalability

• Client API - Faster because it’s based on the DataDirect Connect framework, which is continuously tuned to deliver market-leading performance
• SQL Engine - Enhanced to support large file systems, allowing query results to extend beyond 2GB.
• Wire level protocol – replaced with the faster DataDirect SequeLink wire level protocol
• Superior performance and scalability ready to on-ramp data for Big Data challenges over structured and unstructured data

All these enhancements enable faster end-to-end query time and the ability to handle massive data sets.

Security

• Adaptively integrate with the full SSL environments with mutual authentication configurability
• Control access to OpenAccess Server at multiple levels of authentication
• Configure client and server components to require host authentication, Kerberos, or IP range, in addition to data source specific authentication
• SSL data encryption – Supported in ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET components

Management Console and Agent

• Manage and monitor an OpenAccess Server remotely
• Use GUI or command line management console to start, stop, and monitor services

Platforms
