| The unixODBC project provides UNIX applications with the same
ODBC 3.51 API and facilities available under Windows. It
provides a Driver Manager that supports the full ODBC API and
performs the ODBC 3 to ODBC 2 translations with UNICODE to ANSI
conversion. It also includes a set of graphical utilities that
allow users to specify connections to DBMSes to be used by
applications, a collection of ODBC drivers including a simple
text based driver, an NNTP driver, a Postgres driver and others,
and a selection of templates and libraries that to aid in the
construction of ODBC drivers. It works with MySQL, Postgres,
StarOffice, Applixware, iHTML, PHP, Perl DBD::ODBC, Paradox 9,
and many other applications and drivers. Connection pooling is
also provided to increase performance with applications such as
PHP. |
