Firebird ODBC driver

Firebird ODBC Driver is a reliable tool designed to facilitate a direct access path from your applications to the preferred Firebird database.
The utility comes as a set of libraries, which allow you to create a connection between your application or certain of its functions and the selected database.
The tool relies on a series of ODBC APIs and ODBC datatypes, implemented in the driver, features that facilitate the integration of the Firebird database with your developing applications.
The main advantage is that you can create a direct connection between the program and the database. You may thus spare the resources you would spend in case you used a third party tool for maintaining the connection.
Instead, you can enjoy a speedy and stable link via ODBC APIs and a direct TCP connection. Moreover, the tool ensures lightweight data access layers and optimized data transfer.
Firebird ODBC Driver is compatible with several editions of the Firebird database manager and runs on several operating systems.
In Windows, for instance, it supports both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. You may even integrate the function in cross-platform programs.
Once installed Firebird ODBC Driver can be customized from the ODBC Data Source Administrator window.
You may create a new Data Source Name from the System DSN tab and specify the name, a short description, plus other configuration details for the connection.
The server and port must be specified, as well as the name/path of the database. Additionally, you need to insert the path of the required client library, which ensures the direct connection and the desired protocol: TCP, NetBEUI or SPX.System requirementsFirebird database
