| Improves the performance and scalability of your applications | DataDirect's PostgreSQL delivers the faster response times and exceptional scalability needed for business-critical software deployments. Our drivers outperform competitive drivers in throughput, CPU efficiency, and memory usage. |
| Provides comprehensive coverage from one vendor | Only DataDirect offers an ODBC driver for PostgreSQL (through v8.4) on every major platform – Windows (including v7), UNIX and Linux, including UNIX platforms such as IBM AIX, HP-UX, and Sun Solaris, across a wide range of processor architectures. The PostgreSQL ODBC 64-bit driver enables 64-bit applications to take full advantage of faster processing speeds. |
| Makes it easy and cost effective to support multiple databases / database versions | SQL up-leveling and other interoperability features allow applications to support multiple databases (PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, and more). |
| Guarantees reliability for demanding production environments | DataDirect's PostgreSQL ODBC driver is 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. |
| Reduces total cost of ownership through superior technical support | In contrast to database vendors and other third-party vendors, DataDirect award-winning support is focused exclusively on data connectivity and includes 24x7 phone, web, email, forum, and an extensive knowledgebase. Resolving data connectivity issues quickly reduces the total cost of ownership of software. |
