ODBC Connectivity Kit

A variety of data sources can be accessed through ODBC. These include enterprise database servers such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL, flat file databases like dBase and even non-database data like Excel and ASCII files. Use of the DataFlex ODBC Connectivity Kit also requires the installation of a specific ODBC Driver for the target data source.

You can find ODBC configuration information specific to database backends like MySQL (MySQL.int) and Oracle (Oracle.int) in the \Bin directory. These files should be modified according to your specific installed version of the target database.

How to get the latest DataFlex SQL Drivers

We publish DataFlex SQL Driver "updates" that contain the latest drivers packaged in a ZIP file designed to apply these drivers to environments that already have older DataFlex SQL drivers installed.

You can determine the driver version installed in your DataFlex environments by clicking Help | About | System Information in the Studio. Unless you have specific reason not to, we recommend that you update your installation to the latest DataFlex SQL driver version available along with the corresponding Microsoft driver component (e.g. ODBC Driver 11 or 13.1) available for the target database.

Download DataFlex SQL Driver Update - December 1, 2017 Update v6.2.0.42 ZIP   ReadMe

For supported OS versions, please refer to the DataFlex environment where the driver will be installed.
