Features

• Direct Connection - This connector enables various ODBC-aware applications to establish a direct connection to FoxPro 2, Visual FoxPro, dBase (DBF), and other xBase databases, without involving any external libraries. A direct connection increases the speed of data transmission between an ODBC application and xBase database. It also simplifies the deployment, since there is no need to distribute any additional client software with the ODBC driver for xBase.
• Integration - The driver is compatible with 3rd-party data analysis tools, such as Microsoft Excel, and integrates with various IDEs and systems like Visual Studio, etc.
• Platforms Variety - The driver 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 - You can retrieve and modify any data in multilingual xBase databases, regardless of their character set: Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Chinese, etc., and in any language environment.
• Retrieval of Corrupted Data - ODBC driver for xBase provides options for ignoring corrupted data errors and metadata errors when opening a DBF table. Corrupted data is skipped, whereas the intact data is properly retrieved.
• Advanced Data Conversion - Advanced Data Conversion mechanisms have been implemented that provide bi-directional mapping between any xBase and ODBC data types.
• Bulk Updates - You can perform bulk updates to xBase database by combining SQL statements into batches, thus simplifying and speeding up large data modification to xBase.
• Cost-Effective Deployment - 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.
• ODBC Conformance - The driver provides full support for the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (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 xBase from various environments and platforms.
• High Performance - Every operation with xBase becomes significantly faster using features such as local data caching, connection pooling, and much more.
• Verified Compatibility With Data Integration Tools - Devart ODBC drivers are verified to be compatible with leading analytics and reporting tools, various IDEs, and programming languages. Get fast and secure access to your data in any application:
