Deliver a Custom ODBC Driver Over Internal APIs

Organizations are investing heavily in API management layers to better manage data access security across the organization. However, this means enterprise data teams can no longer run analytics without complex coding.

As your company adopts new analytical and data management tools, building a custom SQL client like ODBC, JDBC or ADO.NET on top of your data access layer is crucial. Progress® DataDirect® enables you to quickly make enterprise APIs accessible to analytics teams, while taking advantage of centralized API management capabilities.

Our framework:

• Enables you to build a ODBC driver to any API—SOAP, REST, proprietary files, flat files and more.
• Allows you to develop custom ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET or OLE-DB drivers with the same codebase.
• Supports C/C++, Java or .NET. We even offer supporting sample codes to help you accelerate your time to production.
• Provides a powerful SQL engine that takes care of up to 99% of the code required to build a custom ODBC layer.
• Works with leading tools such as Microsoft Excel, SAP BusinessObjects, IBM Cognos, Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE), Power BI, Tableau, Qlik and many more.
• Supports authentication using access control and identity management products such as CA SiteMinder, Oracle Access Manager, Entrust GetAccess, RSA Access Manager and more.
• Makes exposing REST APIs as a ODBC source easy with the SQL for REST API generator.
