iODBC is a cross-platform Driver Manager that comforms to the Microsoft ODBC 2.x & 3.x and X/Open SQL CLI data access specs.

iODBC Driver Manager and SDK enables the development of database-centric solutions that are both database and platform independent.

What is the ODBC Value Proposition?

The ability to develop applications independent of back-end database engine.

What is iODBC?

iODBC is the acronym for Independent Open DataBase Connectivity, an Open Source platform independent implementation of both the ODBC and X/Open specifications. It is rapidly emerging as the industry standard for developing solutions that are language, platform and database independent.

What is the iODBC Value Proposition?

The ability to develop applications independent of back-end database engine, operating system, and for the most part programming language. Although ODBC and iODBC are both 'C' based Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) there are numerous cross language hooks and bridges from languages such as: C++, Java, Perl, Python, TCL etc.

iODBC has been ported to numerous platforms, including:

Linux (x86, Itanium, Alpha, Mips, and StrongArm), Solaris (Sparc & x86), AIX, HP-UX (PA-RISC & Itanium), Digital UNIX, Dynix, Generic UNIX 5.4, FreeBSD, MacOS 9, MacOS X, DG-UX, and OpenVMS.

This is a great SDK for porting WIN32-based ODBC applications to Linux and other OS platforms.

What's New in This Release:

· Added support for GTK+ 2.x
· Fixed long mutex lock on connect
· Fixed problems with SQLBrowseConnect
· Fixed missing functions in export list
· Fixed core dump when checking for driver odbc version
· Fixed allocation error in SQLDescribeCol
· Fixed rpm specification for RedHat
· Fixed porting problems on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and OSF
· Use SQLFetchScroll in iodbctest

What is new in this release:

  • This release sees the project hosting transferred to GitHub for future development and the conversion of Mac OS X UI to XIB format for Mac OS X 10.5 and newer versions.
  • Fixes include an issue with tracing multiple chunks in SQLGetData, an issue with tracing on big-endian machines, an issue with using previously freed memory, and other minor bugfixes.

What is new in version 3.52.7:

  • This version includes the iODBC graphical Administrator component for Mac OS X (Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard) released for the first time in open source format. The iODBC CFM Bridge for Mac OS X is included, facilitating connections from Microsoft Office (Excel/Query).
  • Additionally, windows in the GTK-based administrator are now resizeable, and there are other minor bugfixes.
  • There is also a new redesigned Web site for iODBC.
