Key Features
Direct mode
Establish a native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services in Alteryx using an ODBC driver, without the need for client software. You can easily connect and fetch analytics data from databases such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or cloud services like Salesforce, QuickBooks, and Zoho CRM.
SQL data type mapping
Enjoy full support for mapping data source-specific SQL data types to standard ODBC data types. Access a wide variety of data stores in Alteryx through a unified interface with exceptional speed. You can also create custom mappings between data source fields and ODBC data types.
Secure connection
Devart ODBC drivers use SSL/SSH and HTTPS tunneling to protect user data as it travels between a remote server and Alteryx over the internet. Tunneling ensures secure communication between machines.
ANSI SQL-92 standard support for cloud services
Devart ODBC drivers solve a common challenge when retrieving data from email marketing, CRM, accounting, and other cloud applications into Alteryx: the lack of adequate API support for SQL-92 standard SQL commands. Our drivers are optimized to maximize the functionality of cloud service APIs.

Fast and unified access to databases
We offer you optimal data access by means of ODBC and native database client libraries. However, you can avoid using client libraries, since our ODBC drivers are able to connect via the native protocol directly without using client software at all.
Fast and unified access to clouds
You can connect to the most popular cloud resources directly via HTTP. In case you have no direct access to a cloud data source via HTTP, you have the option of establishing a connection through a proxy server.
Why pick Devart ODBC Drivers for importing data to Alteryx?
Fully Unicode-compliant ODBC drivers
Unicode is the universal standard for encoding characters in most languages. Our ODBC drivers provide a Unicode-compliant way to work with strings and characters in databases: they are capable of mapping Unicode function calls and string data types to ANSI encoding.
All major versions of data stores are supported
Our ODBC drivers can be used to interact and perform SQL CRUD operations on popular traditional databases and cloud services from TIBCO Spotfire, such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, or Mailchimp.
Regular feature updates and timely bug fixes
We frequently release new versions of ODBC drivers with new capabilities or enhancements for already existing features. Changes and new features are added to the roadmap based on customer feedback. Bug fixes and minor improvements are released as nightly builds to resolve issues in a timely fashion.
Strict compliance with Microsoft ODBC 3.51 Specification
Our ODBC drivers provide full support for the standard Open Database Connectivity API functions and data types. ODBC interface allows TIBCO Spotfire to connect to ODBC databases using the SQL language. Additionally, we have designed Advanced Connection String parameters that implement different types of behavior.
Exceptional SQL query performance and bulk updates
Our ODBC drivers allow you to perform bulk record update in TIBCO Spotfire in a single update statement while maintaining decent update speed. When you need to update a table with a million of records, you can use a single update operation which significantly reduces execution time compared to row-by-row operations.
