Gemini ODBC driver allows connection to InterBase 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and Firebird databases on Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000. It is a software that facilitates access to these database servers.
Another great feature of this driver is its compatibility with Interbase 6.x, 5.x, and 4.x, as well as current Firebird releases (including 1.0 beta). That means you can use the driver to support advanced InterBase version 6 features, including new data types.
The driver also supports Unicode (Windows only) as well as SBCS/DBCS data, ensuring that your data is displayed correctly, no matter what language it's in. This compatibility with Unicode is in line with the ODBC specification, making it a reliable option for those who require this feature.
When it comes to stored procedures, the driver supports those coming from ODBC compliant applications and ADO. This includes procedures that return result sets and output parameters. The stored procedure execution model is also compatible with Microsoft SQL Server, which means that Interbase procedures can be called via a 'linked server' in SQL Server in 'RPC out' mode using native SQL Server syntax.
Other features of the driver include the ability to create forward-only and scrollable static cursors, as well as ODBC escape sequences for date/time, like escape character, outer joins, SQL and ODBC scalar functions. There's also a Linux version available for those who prefer that platform.
Overall, this ODBC driver offers a comprehensive range of features and benefits that make it a reliable choice for those who need seamless data integration across multiple platforms. You can find full information on the driver and links to order pages on the website.
