How ODBC Driver for MySQL works

Direct connection to MySQL and MariaDB

Our data connector enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to MySQL via TCP/IP and thus eliminate the need for any MySQL clients. A direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an external application and MySQL for real-time analytics. It streamlines the deployment process, since there is no need to distribute any additional client-side software with the Devart ODBC Driver at hand.

The Driver enables connections to the following databases:
  • MySQL
  • Microsoft Azure Database for MySQL
  • MariaDB
  • Amazon RDS for MySQL
  • Amazon Aurora
