OpenLink Universal Data Access (UDA) Drivers
In today's knowledge economy your ability to
exploit data ultimately determines success. Thus, the
technology that impacts your ability to store, access,
and disseminate data across the enterprise is of
ever-increasing value.
Knowledge
is the basis of competitive advantage, but there is no
knowledge without Information,
and there is no Information without Data. Basically,
there is no such thing as Information
Technology (IT) without Data.
Universal Data Access (UDA) middleware
defines a category of software that provides transparent
access to data sources (such as databases) from Desktop
Productivity Tools, Application Development Environments,
and Web & Internet Points of Presence.
UDA middleware ensures that your data assets remain
yours to exploit in the manner that best serves the needs
of your organization. You are empowered by having the
freedom to mix and match "best of class" IT
infrastructure components without "vendor lock-in" at the
operating system, programming language, application
server, or database level. The cost of vendor lock-in at
any of these levels ultimately impedes enterprise
agility.
UDA middleware from OpenLink Software describes a
collection of industry standards-compliant Data Access
Drivers that support the following:
You simply acquire and/or develop database independent
solutions that are ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET
compliant, and then install the appropriate UDA driver(s)
for the database(s) to which you need access.
UDA utilization can be as simple as connecting your
Spreadsheet or Word Processor to your back-end database,
without need of a single line of code or any exposure to
the complexities of networking and low-level database
interaction. It may be a little more involved if you are
an applications or systems programmer. Irrespective of
why you seek to exploit UDA based middleware, it will
always ultimately provide better value to your enterprise
than any proprietary (aka Native) alternative.

Products from OpenLink Software are generally
available for use on most versions of AIX, BSD, HP-UX,
Linux, Mac, Solaris, Windows, and several other UNIX-like
OS. While specific products may not currently be
available for your specific OS or version; custom ports
are always a possibility, and we are expert in finding
alternative connection paths to serve your needs.
- ODBC Drivers are available for Windows, Linux, Mac
OS X, Mac OS 9, and all UNIX flavors (32 and 64
bit).
- JDBC Drivers are 100% pure and run on any platform
hosting a Java Virtual Machine (runtime
environment).
- ADO.NET providers are available for use with
Microsoft .NET (on Windows) or Mono (on Windows, Linux,
Solaris, Mac OS X, and others).
- OLE DB providers are available only for Microsoft
Windows (32 and 64 bit).
