Frequently Asked BASE Driver Questions

Learn more about BASE drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration


The BASE driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and BASE, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The BASE driver abstracts the complexities of BASE APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to BASE data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a BASE Driver is different than connecting with BASE through other means. BASE API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain BASE integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our BASE Drivers offer codeless access to live BASE data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live BASE data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to BASE data. We manage all of the complexities of BASE integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with BASE, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData BASE driver offers full-featured BASE data connectivity. The CData BASE drivers support extensive BASE integration, providing access to all of the BASE data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all BASE data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData BASE driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into BASE API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to BASE as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to BASE is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that BASE looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live BASE connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

The BASE drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to BASE data. Our BASE driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to BASE data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the BASE driver data model, please review the edition-specific BASE driver documentation.

Using the CData BASE drivers and connectors, BASE can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live BASE data connectivity.
