Overview - ODBC Driver for SQL Server

Overview

Devart ODBC Driver for SQL Server is a high-performance connectivity solution with enterprise-level features for accessing SQL Server 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 SQL Server data from anywhere.

Direct connection

Our data connector enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to SQL Server via TCP/IP to eliminate the need for SQL Server Сlient. Direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an external application and SQL Server for real-time analytics. It also streamlines the deployment process, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the driver.
