OpenLink Software Releases High-Performance 64-Bit Edition of
ODBC Drivers
New Cross Platform 64-Bit ODBC Drivers for Oracle, SQL Server,
DB2, Sybase, Ingres, Progress, Informix, MySQL, and PostgreSQL
Burlington, MA. November 04, 2003 - OpenLink
Software, Inc., technology leader in the development and deployment
of secure, high-performance database connectivity middleware
announces the availability of the 64-bit edition of Release 5.1 of
its high-performance Single-Tier and Multi-Tier ODBC Drivers for
Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, IRIX, Tru64 UNIX, and others.
The new product release brings these previously-released 64 Bit
ODBC Drivers to functional parity with OpenLink's recently
announced release 5.1 Drivers Suite.
The new release adds full Unicode and Rendezvous support to the
Multi-Tier edition of the ODBC Drivers , while expanding backend
database support to include legacy and latest releases of Oracle,
Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB/2, Informix, Sybase Adaptive Server,
Progress, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other ODBC or JDBC accessible
databases (via new ODBC-ODBC and ODBC-JDBC Bridge Drivers).
Rendezvous technology enables client hosts to browse their local
network for administratively pre-configured server-side data
sources, enabling administrators to centralize security and
configuration rules over ODBC sessions, thereby permitting users to
make connections with minimal knowledge or effort by removing the
need for client-side data source configuration.
The 64-Bit drivers are built to deliver high-performance and
uniform functionality across all supported platforms and
databases.
"Operating systems are approaching a critical inflection point
that will kick-start the build up of 64-bit data-centric
applications, which are best served by 64-bit data access drivers"
said Kingsley Idehen, President & CEO of OpenLink Software. "As
established data access technology leaders, we have always provided
64-bit ODBC drivers for 64-bit operating systems. Our updated
64-Bit ODBC Drivers simply reaffirm our leadership position, while
providing product development, implementation, and rollout clarity
to our current and future customers," he added.
