UnixODBC aims to create and elevate itself as the standard of ODBC on non-MS Windows platforms.
One of the two major advantages of coding an application to the ODBC API is its Portable Data Access Code. The ODBC API is available across all major platforms, and Microsoft platforms have additional enhancements to this specification. unixODBC has also supported these enhancements, allowing for seamless data access across platforms.
The Dynamic Data Binding feature of the unixODBC Project is the single biggest advantage of utilizing the ODBC API. It provides effortless configuration of an application to use any ODBC compliant data source, empowering users and system administrators to pick an SQL server and use it for all data applications without having to recompile the application.
The unixODBC team has achieved their objective by providing the best technical solution to ODBC demands on the Linux platform. Additionally, ALL unixODBC development is licensed under GPL or LGPL, allowing commercial solutions to utilize it. This innovative software provides an excellent solution to ODBC demands and is a definite go-to for Linux platform usage.
