CData Drivers now work with AI Coding tools

The PostgreSQL ODBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows users to connect live PostgreSQL data to BI, ETL, and reporting applications. Access PostgreSQL databases from virtually anywhere — download the PostgreSQL ODBC driver for Windows, install the 64-bit ODBC driver (or legacy 32-bit driver), or setup ODBC for PostgreSQL on Linux. Connect to PostgreSQL compatible databases from any application that supports ODBC connectivity.

AI-assisted development with CData CLI

Build PostgreSQL integrations faster with AI that understands your schema

Schema-aware AI

CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your PostgreSQL schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your ODBC Drivers.

Your AI Knows SQL

How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to PostgreSQL.

More Accurate, More Token-Efficient

With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
