Features

Devart ODBC Driver for Oracle provides direct TCP/IP connectivity, full ODBC compliance, cross-platform support, and compatibility with multiple Oracle versions. It’s designed for efficient, reliable data access across various development environments.

Direct connection

The driver enables database applications to connect to Oracle databases using either the native Oracle client software or Direct mode. Direct mode offers a significant advantage by establishing connections directly via TCP/IP, eliminating the need for an Oracle client. This approach improves application performance, reliability, and deployment efficiency, simplifies installation, and reduces system dependencies.

ODBC conformance

The driver offers full support for standard ODBC interfaces, including:

  • ODBC Data Types
  • ODBC API Functions

Additionally, it supports advanced connection string parameters, enabling desktop and web applications to connect to Oracle databases across various environments and platforms that support ODBC.

Cross-platform development

The driver offers flexibility across development platforms and environments. It’s available for multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This allows you to build cross-platform applications without limitations, regardless of your target architecture.

Database compatibility

The driver supports a wide range of Oracle servers and clients. For a full list, see Requirements and compatibility.

Note

Support for 64-bit Oracle clients is available only on 64-bit Windows systems.

High performance

The driver is built to support the development of high-performance, lightweight data access layers. It uses advanced data access algorithms and optimization techniques to ensure efficient and reliable connectivity.
