Gemini ODBC driver enables Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000 systems to access InterBase 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and Firebird databases. The driver provides an open-source solution to facilitate database connection and management.
One of the standout features of this driver is its impressive compatibility with Interbase. Whether you're working with Interbase 6.x, 5.x, 4.x, or Firebird current releases (1.0 beta), you can expect seamless compatibility across a range of advanced Interbase version 6 features.
Support for Unicode, including Windows-only Unicode, as well as SBCS/DBCS data, is another key selling point of this driver. Its compatibility with stored procedures from ODBC-compliant applications and ADO is impressive too; procedures returning result sets and output parameters are supported. Additionally, the stored procedure execution model is fully compatible with Microsoft SQL Server, meaning that Interbase procedures can be called via a 'linked server' in SQL Server in 'RPC out' mode using native SQL Server syntax.
In terms of cursor functionality, the ODBC driver offers both forward-only and scrollable static cursors, catering to the needs of users across a range of use cases. There's also a selection of ODBC escape sequences for date/time, like escape character, outer joins, SQL and ODBC scalar functions, granting users enhanced flexibility and functionality.
And if you're a Linux user, fear not – the Linux version of this driver is also available. To find out more about the ODBC driver and to access order pages, visit the website today.
