Devart ODBC Driver for SQL Azure provides a high-performance and feature-rich connectivity solution for ODBC-based applications to access SQL Azure databases from Windows, macOS, Linux, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Full support for standard ODBC API functions and data types implemented in our driver makes interaction of your database applications with SQL Azure fast, easy and extremely handy.
Database applications based on our solution get an opportunity to establish a connection to SQL Azure directly. Direct Connection gives your applications an unrivalled advantage — connection to SQL Azure databases directly via TCP/IP avoiding SQL Azure Client software. That improves performance of your applications, their quality, reliability and especially the deployment process, since there is no need to supply additional client software together with your application.
The driver is compatible with 3rd-party tools for data analysis, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, etc.
For the complete list of compatible tools and environments visit the Compatibility page.
ODBC Driver for SQL Azure can be used with 32-bit and 64-bit applications on both x32 and x64 platforms, so there is no need to additionally configure the driver, applications or environment.
With our fully Unicode driver, you can retrieve and work with any data from multi-lingual SQL Azure databases correctly, not depending on whether its charset is Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Chinese, etc., in any environment localization.
Work with SQL Azure securely using SSL connection options provided in our driver along with the support for SSL protocol.
You can also connect to SQL Azure securely via SSH tunnel. SSH protocol is one of the most reliable protocols for data encryption.
We have implemented advanced Data Conversion mechanisms that provide bi-directional mapping between any SQL Azure and ODBC data types.
The driver provides full support for common ODBC interface:
In addition, we provide support for Advanced Connection String parameters, thus allowing any desktop and web applications to connect to SQL Azure from various environments and platforms that support ODBC.
Moreover, with our driver you can perform bulk updates to SQL Azure database by combining SQL statements into batches, thus simplifying and speeding up large data modification to SQL Azure.
Our driver is fully compatible with the latest SQL Azure V12 version and is always maintained up to date.
Every operation with SQL Azure becomes significantly faster using such capabilities of our driver as local data caching, connection pooling, and much more.
