What is a Microsoft Dataverse driver?
A Microsoft Dataverse driver is a software library that enables applications to interact with Microsoft Dataverse as though it were a traditional database. These drivers simplify communication by abstracting API complexities, presenting Salesforce data in a structured, database-like format.
What is a Microsoft Dataverse connector?
A Microsoft Dataverse connector is a tailored integration designed to allow proprietary applications or unique systems to seamlessly interact with Microsoft Dataverse. Built on the same robust engine as our Microsoft Dataverse drivers, these connectors provide effortless real-time access to Microsoft Dataverse data for extended application functionality.
How is developing with a Microsoft Dataverse driver different?
Drivers streamline integration by abstracting Microsoft Dataverse APIs, allowing you to access its data through standard interfaces like SQL, making them perfect for data-focused applications.

Frequently asked Microsoft Dataverse integration questions
Common questions about Microsoft Dataverse drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration
How does the Microsoft Dataverse Driver work?
The Microsoft Dataverse driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Microsoft Dataverse, allowing the application to read, write, and update data as if it were a relational database. The Microsoft Dataverse driver abstracts the complexities of Microsoft Dataverse APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Microsoft Dataverse data in real-time via standard SQL queries.
How is using the Microsoft Dataverse Driver different than connecting to the Microsoft Dataverse API?
Working with a Microsoft Dataverse Driver is different than connecting with Microsoft Dataverse through other means. Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse integration code moving forward.
By comparison, our Microsoft Dataverse Drivers offer codeless access to live Microsoft Dataverse data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse data. We manage all of the complexities of Microsoft Dataverse integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.
If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Microsoft Dataverse via CData Connect AI. With Connect AI you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Microsoft Dataverse from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Microsoft Dataverse is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Microsoft Dataverse is updated.
How is a Microsoft Dataverse Driver different than a Microsoft Dataverse connector?
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 Microsoft Dataverse, 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 Microsoft Dataverse driver offers full-featured Microsoft Dataverse data connectivity. The CData Microsoft Dataverse drivers support extensive Microsoft Dataverse integration, providing access to all of the Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse 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.
Is Microsoft Dataverse SQL based?
With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Microsoft Dataverse driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Microsoft Dataverse API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Microsoft Dataverse as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Microsoft Dataverse is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Microsoft Dataverse looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Microsoft Dataverse connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.
What data can I access with the Microsoft Dataverse driver?
The Microsoft Dataverse drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Microsoft Dataverse data. Our Microsoft Dataverse driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Microsoft Dataverse data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Microsoft Dataverse driver data model, please review the edition-specific Microsoft Dataverse driver documentation.
What does Microsoft Dataverse integrate with?
Using the CData Microsoft Dataverse drivers and connectors, Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Microsoft Dataverse data integrations online.
Additionally, since Microsoft Dataverse supported by CData Connect AI, we enable all kinds of new Microsoft Dataverse cloud integrations.
How can I enable Microsoft Dataverse Analytics?
Microsoft Dataverse Analytics and Microsoft Dataverse Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Microsoft Dataverse data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.
