-
Easily Customizable and Configurable
The data model exposed by our JDBC Drivers can easily be customized to add or remove tables/columns, change data types, etc. without requiring a new build. These customizations are supported at runtime using human-readable schema files that are easy to edit.
-
Secure Connectivity
Includes standard Enterprise-class security features such as TLS/ SSL data encryption for all client-server communications.
JDBC Driver Performance
With traditional approaches to remote access, performance bottlenecks can spell disaster for applications. Regardless if an application is created for internal use, a commercial project, web, or mobile application, slow performance can rapidly lead to project failure. Accessing data from any remote source has the potential to create these problems. Common issues include:
- Network Connections - Slow network connections and latency issues are common in mobile applications.
- Service Delays - Delays due to service interruptions, resulting in server hardware or software updates.
- Large Data - Intentional or unintentional requests for large amounts of data.
- Disconnects - Complete loss of network connectivity.
The CData JDBC Driver for Azure Analysis Services solves many of these issues with support for replication queries that can be used to sync data to local databases, greatly improving the performance and dramatically reduce application bottlenecks.
More information about JDBC Driver performance capabilities are available in the included documentation.

Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity
The Azure Analysis Services JDBC Driver offers the most natural way to access Azure Analysis Services data from any Java/J2EE application. Simply use the Azure Analysis Services Driver to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. The driver is completely self-contained - no additional software installation is required!
Azure Analysis Services Integration
The Azure Analysis Services Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of this you can now access Azure Analysis Services data in an easy, familiar way. You can use the Azure Analysis Services Driver through popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.
For example:
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:azureanalysisservices:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;"); boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * FROM AnalysisServicesData"); ResultSet rs=stat.getResultSet(); while(rs.next()){ for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++) { System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) +"="+rs.getString(i)); } }
