Embedded Remoting Capabilities

Our exclusive Remoting feature allows hosting the ODBC connection on a server to enable connections from various clients on any platform (Java, .NET, C++, PHP, Python, etc.), using any standards based technology (ODBC, JDBC, etc.). ODBC Remoting is enabled using the popular MySQL and SQL (TDS) wire protocol server.

String, Date, Numeric SQL Functions

The driver includes a library of 50 plus functions that can manipulate column values into the desired result. Popular examples include Regex, JSON, and XML processing functions.
Collaborative Query Processing

Our drivers enhance the data source's capabilities by additional client-side processing, when needed, to enable analytic summaries of data such as SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN, etc.
Easily Customizable and Configurable

The data model exposed by our ODBC 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.
Enterprise-class Secure Connectivity

Includes standard Enterprise-class security features such as TLS/ SSL data encryption for all client-server communications.
Replication and Caching

Our replication and caching commands make it easy to copy data to local and cloud data stores such as Oracle, SQL Server, Google Cloud SQL, etc. The replication commands include many features that allow for intelligent incremental updates to cached data.

Unparalleled Performance
Remoting (MySQL/SQL)

ODBC 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 ODBC Driver for Cosmos DB 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 ODBC Driver performance capabilities are available in the included documentation.

Enterprise-Class Remoting

MySQL/SQL Database entry points for Azure Cosmos DB Data

The CData ODBC drivers include powerful fully-integrated remote access capabilities that makes Azure Cosmos DB data accessible from virtually anywhere. The drivers include the CData SQL Gateway, which can the optional ability to accept incoming SQL and MySQL client connections and service standard database requests.

With the CData SQL Gateway, users can interact with Azure Cosmos DB data from any client that supports SQL Server or MySQL: from Web & mobile applications, to CRM and CMS systems, BI tools like SQL Server Analysis Services, and even through popular management applications like MySQL Workbench. Access Azure Cosmos DB data from virtually any application that can access external data. Applications that can access SQL Server or MySQL data can now connect to Azure Cosmos DB with this driver.

Connect Azure Cosmos DB data with popular BI tools like SQL Server Analysis Services.
Enable enterprise Azure Cosmos DB data integration through SQL Linked Server connectivity
Includes support for the MySQL and SQL (TDS) remote access protocols, with advanced wire-protocol SSL security - industry standards for remote database connectivity.
Easily connect to Cosmos DB from code (PHP, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, etc.) using one of the standard client libraries for accessing SQL/MySQL.
* Available exclusively in ODBC Server Licenses.
