Direct Connection

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

Integration

The driver is compatible with third-party tools for data analysis, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, DBeaver, etc.

For the complete list of compatible tools and environments visit the Compatibility page.

Platforms Variety

ODBC Driver for AlloyDB 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.

Fully Unicode-Compliant Driver

With our fully Unicode-compliant driver, you can properly retrieve and modify any data in multilingual AlloyDB databases, regardless of their character set: Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Chinese, etc., and in any language environment.

Cost-Effective Deployment

Our ODBC driver is a standalone installation file that doesn't require the user to deploy and configure any additional software such as a database client or a vendor library. Deployment costs are reduced drastically, especially when using the silent install method with an OEM license in large organizations that have hundreds of machines.

Secure Connection

Work with AlloyDB securely using SSL connection options provided in our driver along with the support for SSL protocol. You can also connect to AlloyDB securely via SSH tunnel. SSH protocol is one of the most reliable protocols for data encryption.

Advanced Data Conversion

We have implemented advanced Data Conversion mechanisms that provide bi-directional mapping between any AlloyDB and ODBC data types.

ODBC Conformance

The driver provides full support for the ODBC interface, its functions, and data types. It offers advanced connection string parameters and allows any ODBC compliant desktop or web application to connect to AlloyDB from various environments and platforms.

Bulk Updates

Moreover, with our driver you can perform bulk updates to AlloyDB database by combining SQL statements into batches, thus simplifying and speeding up large data modification to AlloyDB .
