ODBC access to Microsoft Access from UNIX and OpenVMS

 
Do you need to access your Microsoft Access database from an UNIX or an OpenVMS system?

OpenRDA ODBC Driver allows applications on UNIX and OpenVMS platforms to access Microsoft Access databases residing on a Windows system or a file server.

OpenRDA ODBC Driver is a client/server solution in which the client piece runs on the UNIX or the OpenVMS platform to provide an ODBC API and a server piece runs on a Microsoft Windows platform to provide access to the Microsoft Access files. The client and server communicate over TCP/IP.

OpenRDA ODBC Driver supports read and write access to Microsoft Access (MDB) files and supports all the data types supported by Microsoft Access. The OpenRDA ODBC Server accepts requests from the OpenRDA ODBC Driver and passes them on to the Microsoft Access ODBC driver. This allows the OpenRDA ODBC driver to be used with all versions of Microsoft Access.

Use the OpenRDA ODBC driver from C/C++ applications, ColdFusion, PERL, Apache, Brio, JAVA and others. Our detailed documentation describes how to easily get started in any of these configurations.

OpenRDA Server for ODBC that runs on your Windows system is multithreaded for scalability and fast access. OpenRDA ODBC Drivers are multithreaded for applications that require concurrent execution of multiple statements and are compatible with iODBC, UnixODBC and DataDirect (formerly Intersolv) driver managers.

Supported Clients: Intel/Solaris Sun/Solaris RS6000/AIX HP9000/HP-UX Intel/SCO UNIX OS/2 Alpha/UNIX Alpha/OpenVMS Intel/Linux MIPS/Linux

Supported Server: Windows NT 3.51 Windows NT 4.0 Windows 2000 Windows 9x, XP Supported Databases: Oracle Microsoft Access Microsoft SQL Server Lotus Notes Any ODBC compliant database


ODBC Driver Kit on UNIX and OpenVMS

The OpenRDA ODBC Kit will allow you to develop your application on any supported UNIX and OpenVMS platform and use the Microsoft ODBC API specification to access any database that has an ODBC driver on Windows. The OpenRDA ODBC driver supports all Level 1 and most Level 2 ODBC API calls. The OpenRDA ODBC driver is implemented in a library that you link with your application. Use it from C, C++, Perl, PL/SQL, ColdFusion, Apache, Brio etc. You can also use our Interactive SQL command line program from your application to execute SQL statements and retrieve results.

The ODBC Driver Kit includes everything you need to develop, test and deploy your application including:

1. Header files - all necessary header files to include in your application
2. Libraries - libraries that make up the OpenRDA ODBC driver.
3. Make files - make files to compile and link your code with the OpenRDA ODBC driver
4. Example Application - source code example application to be used as a template in your development.
