Actual SQL Server ODBC Driver
|
The Actual SQL Server ODBC Driver lets you access your companys Microsoft SQL Server database from within Microsoft Excel or FileMaker Pro. You can connect to any database you are authorized to use, and work with the data just like your Windows-using co-workers. The driver also connects to Sybase databases.
Take Advantage of the Full Power of Excel
Microsoft Excel X has built-in support for ODBC database queries (when used with Microsoft Query X - a free download). Use our ODBC driver to connect Excel to your companys SQL Server database. Then you can use the information from the database in your spreadsheet formulas and charts and graphs.
Easy Installation and Setup
The driver includes a setup assistant that will walk you through setting up a connection to your database. On-line help is always available to provide explanations of all parameters. For simple connections, you only need to specify 2 fields! All installation takes place on your Mac - nothing is installed on the server.
IT Support Staff Will Be Happy
IT support staff typically dont like to install special software on their servers - software that could affect the reliability or performance of a critical resource. Thats why our driver resides only on the client Mac, and communicates with the database software that already exists on the server.
Our driver supports both methods of SQL Server authentication - SQL Server accounts and trusted domain accounts. This means that no special configuration of the database is needed in order for you to connect. You just need an account, using whatever authentication method your organization has chosen.
In addition, anyone who is already familiar with setting up an ODBC connection on Microsoft Windows will be right at home using our setup assistant. Our driver uses the same terminology and weve organized our screens similarly.
Access SQL Server From Your Own Programs
You can use our driver to access a SQL Server database from your own custom applications - including PHP and Omnis Studio. We will soon be providing tutorials and example source code for Carbon, Cocoa, REALBasic, and PHP. Other commercial applications will also soon take advantage of ODBC connectivity and this driver.
