Available Editions

Lite (Single-Tier)

  • These drivers are designed to connect a client application directly to a specific data source, such as a database management system, spreadsheet, or text file.
  • They do not require any additional middleware components to be installed.
  • Lite Edition drivers are suitable for small- to medium-sized environments.

Enterprise (Multi-Tier)

  • These drivers are designed to connect a client application to a data source via a middleware server, such as a web server or application server.
  • The middleware server acts as a gateway to the data source, and can provide additional functionality such as caching, load balancing, and data transformation.
