Server
Connect to JSON from SQL Server as Linked-Server. You can query JSON from familiar Transact-SQL without need of setting up another application.
Integrate JSON to your system through popular ETL / EAI tools such as Informatica PowerCenter. Standard SQL and Stored Procedures enable fast delivery of your integration projects.
Connect JSON from any ODBC compatible tools:
Desktop
Your familiar tools can connect to JSON using CData ODBC.
- Microsoft Access
- Power Query
- DBeaver
- and more
