Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway enables ODBC-based applications like Microsoft Excel and Access to interact easily with JDBC sources.
The Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway is also compatible with any compliant JDBC driver, such as the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC, and the Sybase iAnywhere JDBC Driver. It is available on Linux, Unix, and Windows platforms.
The Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway is an ODBC driver that provides ODBC access to JDBC data sources. It appears to a target JDBC driver as a Java application making JDBC conformant calls, unaware that ODBC is involved. The Gateway is written entirely in C, which ensures little to no performance overhead, aside from that associated with the target JDBC driver. It uses JNI to load JDBC Driver classes and to call JDBC methods in the loaded JDBC drivers.
In addition to its core features, the Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway complies with JDBC 1, 2, and 3 specifications. It works with all JDBC Driver types (1-4), and it's compatible with the JDK 1.3.x, 1.4.x, and 1.5.x (Sun Microsystems and IBM JVMs). The Gateway transparently hides certain known problems in the JVM implementation of JNI. It enables Unicode-ready applications like Microsoft Access to display and modify Unicode data stored in JDBC databases, and it allows XA Transaction Managers to enlist database resources in a distributed transaction by using XA-compliant JDBC drivers.
The latest release of the Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway introduces several new features. Unicode data may now be modified, and scrollable cursors were added, allowing applications to move backward through a result set. XA support was added, allowing a Transaction Manager to enlist database resources in a distributed transaction. A distributed transaction is a set of one or more related transactions that must be coordinated in such a way that guarantees all transactions either commit or roll back together.
Overall, the Easysoft ODBC-JDBC Gateway is a reliable software application for gaining access to Java databases via ODBC-enabled applications. With its compatibility, ease of use, and additional features, it's a great tool for anyone looking to enhance their database management capabilities.
