Overview
ODBC Driver for MySQL is a connectivity solution that enables ODBC-compliant applications and programming languages to access and manipulate data from MySQL, MariaDB, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon Aurora MySQL, and Azure Database for MySQL using Microsoft’s Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface. The driver supports direct connection via TCP/IP, eliminating the need for MySQL client libraries.
The driver allows direct SQL querying, making it ideal for reporting, analytics, and BI tools. It provides full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms and ensures compatibility with standard ODBC API functions and data types for reliable data exchange.
