Conversion and Mapping Support
Database drivers and providers play a key role in converting and mapping data formats, errors, meta-data and international code pages. DataDirect breadth of support, performance, reliability and level of standards-based interoperability for conversion and mapping support is unparalleled. Since virtually every interaction with the database relies on some conversion or mapping support, any performance or reliability issues can result in application failure or performance degradations. DataDirect has a proven track record of replacing inadequate alternatives thus ensuring application success.
