|
Driver Feature |
Benefit |
|---|---|
|
Unparalleled language, DB, platform and architecture support from single, trusted vendor fulfills all of your DB connectivity needs |
|
|
Consistent support for standards, based on standards leadership eliminates DB vendor lock-in |
|
|
Driver capabilities such as performance, security, failover can be easily configured without expensive code changes, reducing application TCO |
|
|
Driver 'emulates' missing or inconsistent DB functionality eliminating expensive application workarounds needed to fill the gap for missing DB features |
|
|
Standardizes proprietary DB vendor implementations providing a single way to interact with all DBs and DB versions |
|
|
Driver maps DB specific errors to ANSI standard, providing consistent error processing which reduces development cost & minimizes application errors |
|
|
Driver provides common meta-data interface to disparate DB implementations, reducing development cost by providing single view of DB meta-data |
|
|
Unsurpassed coverage for code page conversion between DB and application provides the reliability you need to meet the demanding needs of international implementations |
|
|
Robust conversion of proprietary DB formats to all native language types provides a base level operation that is required for reliable and efficient applications |
|
|
Standards based encryption support for protecting data in flight managed entirely by the driver, eliminating impact on the application |
|
|
Driver manages the ability for an application to failover to alternate DB server, reducing development and infrastructure cost |
|
|
Client side load balancing of application requests to multiple DB servers reduces development and provides for efficient usage of system resource |
|
|
Highly reliable, standards-based implementation ensures data integrity and reliability with minimal development effort |
|
|
Single installation package that does not require DB vendor client libraries eliminates cost and problems associated with deployment and versioning issues |
