The Gemini ODBC driver supports InterBase 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and Firebird database servers, allowing users to access and manipulate data through ODBC-compliant applications.
Moreover, this driver is highly compatible with Interbase 6.x, 5.x, 4.x, Firebird current releases (1.0 beta) and supports advanced InterBase version 6 features, including new data types. The software supports Unicode (Windows only) as well as SBCS/DBCS data making it an enhanced Unicode as defined by ODBC specification. This driver also supports stored procedures from ODBC compliant applications and ADO. Procedures returning result sets and output parameters are supported.
Notably, the stored procedure execution is compatible with Microsoft SQL Server so that Interbase procedures can be called via a 'linked server' in SQL Server in 'RPC out' mode using native SQL Server syntax. This driver also supports forward-only and scrollable static cursors. Additionally, ODBC escape sequences for date/time, like escape character, outer joins, SQL and ODBC scalar functions can be used.
The ODBC driver is highly efficient and offers an additional Linux version for seamless performance. The web-site offers full information on the ODBC driver and links to order pages. In summary, this ODBC driver is highly recommended for its advanced features and benefits that guarantee seamless and efficient data accessibility.
