Overview - ODBC Driver for Oracle

Overview

ODBC Driver for Oracle is a high-performance connectivity solution with enterprise-level features for accessing Oracle databases from ODBC-compliant reporting, analytics, BI, and ETL tools on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, macOS, and Linux. Our ODBC driver fully supports standard ODBC API functions and data types and enables easy and secure access to live Oracle data from anywhere.

Direct Connection

Our data connector enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to Oracle via TCP/IP to eliminate the need for Oracle Client. Direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an external application and Oracle, which is crucial for data analysis in real time. It also streamlines the deployment process, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the driver. You can also connect to Oracle using the native Oracle client library.

ODBC Driver for Oracle supports the following versions of Oracle:

• Oracle Server: 21c, 19c, 18c, 12c, 11g, 10g, 9i, 8i, 8.0, including Oracle Express Edition of 18c, 11g, and 10g
