Improves the performance and scalability of your applications

DataDirect ODBC drivers outperform competitive drivers, markedly improving the response time, throughput, and scalability of database applications.

DataDirect drivers include a high-performance bulk load capability for loading large amounts of data very quickly, which does not require application code changes or additional bulk load tools.

Reduces the cost and time of deploying and maintaining applications

DataDirect wire protocol ODBC drivers don’t require Sybase Open Client libraries to connect to the database. This greatly simplifies deployment and eliminates the headache of installing, configuring, and maintaining database software on each client machine.

Provides comprehensive database/platform coverage from one vendor

DataDirect offers an ODBC driver for Sybase on every major platform – Windows, Linux and UNIX, including UNIX platforms such as IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Sun Solaris, across a wide range of processor architectures.

We also offer a 64-bit wire protocol ODBC driver for Sybase so your 64-bit applications can take full advantage of faster processing speeds.

Makes it easy and cost effective to support multiple databases and database versions

One DataDirect ODBC driver can simultaneously connect to different Sybase versions (11.x, 12.x, and 15.x).You can deploy multiple applications to a single platform and seamlessly connect with different versions of Sybase, reducing deployment and testing costs.

A common architecture across drivers and interoperability features such as SQL Leveling simplify the task of supporting other databases in addition to Sybase, such as Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, and more.

Ensures high availability

DataDirect drivers completely manage failover and balancing of work load without requiring changes to application code. A 100% driver implementation of failover eliminates the need for costly server configurations.

Enables Single Sign-On and ensures data integrity

DataDirect drivers include advanced, industry-standard security mechanisms: SSL data encryption to secure the integrity of your data and provide client/server authentication; and operating system authentication via Kerberos, allowing you to include database access in a Single Sign-On environment.

Guarantees reliability for demanding production environments

DataDirect ODBC drivers are quality tested and certified with a wide variety of applications and environments using the DataDirect ODBC Verification Suite (OVS), the largest, most mature ODBC testing infrastructure.

As a provider focused on data connectivity, DataDirect offers the most proven and technically robust line of database drivers. Over 300 independent software vendors and thousands of corporations rely on DataDirect products.

Offers 100% specification compliance and robust functionality

Applications coded to the ODBC specification can leverage Sybase functionality without proprietary extensions or code. DataDirect’s advanced feature set includes extensive Unicode support, and support for BLOBs/CLOBs, stored procedures, scalar and catalog functions, parameter arrays, data type conversions, and more.

Reduces total cost of ownership through superior technical support

Focused on database connectivity, our award-winning support includes 24x7 phone, web, email, forum, fax, and an extensive knowledgebase.

Superior technical support is essential to resolve data connectivity issues quickly, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership of software.
