ODBC

The term ODBC stands for "Open Database Connectivity". This is a standard promulgated by Microsoft to allow client-side Windows applications, like Pervasive Data Junction, to access various backend databases through a single common (SQL-like) interface.

Pervasive Data Junction has a very rich and well-tested ODBC "socket", and can easily and powerfully attach through various ODBC drivers to file formats that we may not be able to connect to directly. ODBC is a particularly interesting option when used as part of a middleware gateway from the Data Junction client direct to remote data, typically on a mini or mainframe host computer.

For more information about ODBC, select one of the links below:

• ODBC Drivers can be puchased from several vendors.

• ODBC drivers are specific to particular file formats. There are a huge number of drivers available, and more being created all the time.

• Before Data Junction can connect to data using an ODBC driver, certain initial set-up procedures are necessary.
