Solution Components for Relational Databases

DataDirect Technologies offers the following products for relational databases:

• DataDirect Connect for ODBC – The fastest, most comprehensive suite of ODBC drivers for all major databases, including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL and Informix. The unique wire protocol design of DataDirect’s ODBC drivers eliminates the need for database client software and libraries, which greatly simplifies installation and administration and dramatically improves performance.
• DataDirect Connect64 for ODBC – The industry's only complete suite of 64-bit ODBC drivers for all major databases and all 64-bit operating systems and chipsets, including 64-bit Linux and UNIX. DataDirect Connect64 lets you take full advantage of the scalability and performance gains of 64-bit ODBC applications with equally powerful connectivity to databases such as Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, and Informix.
• DataDirect Connect for JDBC – High-performance Type 4 JDBC drivers for all major databases, including Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, and MySQL. DataDirect Connect for JDBC is the SPECjAppServer/ECPerf performance and scalability leader, and supports advanced functionality such as distributed transactions, connection pooling, updating BLOB/CLOB data types, and Windows authentication for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.
• DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET – The industry's only ADO.NET data provider with a 100% managed code architecture. Managed code eliminates the need for database clients, boosts performance and delivers a flexible, secure connection to Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and Sybase. Because there is no need for database clients, DataDirect Connect for ADO.NET reduces risk, closing holes that unmanaged code leaves exposed.
• DataDirect SequeLink – A complete end-to-end database middleware solution that provides a universal thin client for ODBC, JDBC, or ADO.NET, providing a high degree of flexibility for both client- and server-based deployments. SequeLink is ideal for applications that require access to multiple databases or if your environment requires centralized configuration, management, and monitoring of data access.
• DataDirect OpenAccess SDK – DataDirect OpenAccess SDK is the industry's leading custom driver development kit, enabling custom drivers for any data source to be developed within weeks. Whether your data source is a proprietary file format or a proprietary API, OpenAccess SDK can be used to make it SQL accessible from ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET compliant applications.
• DataDirect Shadow z/Direct – Provides direct SQL access to mainframe data stores and business logic from a variety of distributed platforms. Supports Adabas, DB2, IMS/DB, VSAM, CICS, IMS/TM, and Natural.
• DataDirect XQuery – An implementation of XQuery that can query XML, relational data, SOAP messages, EDI, or a combination of data sources. It provides the fastest, most reliable and scalable XQuery support for all major relational databases (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and Sybase) and runs on any Java platform. DataDirect XQuery is recommended for applications dealing with XML, relational, and legacy formats, including data integration, XML-based data exchange, web services, XML-driven web sites, and XML publishing.
