  • Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
  • Generate table schema automatically based on existing XML Files data or manually for greater control of the content you need
  • Seamless integration with leading BI, reporting, and ETL tools and with custom applications via the XML Connector.

Target Service, API

The driver provides SQL access to XML files and web services that return XML data. Supports both local XML files and XML data from HTTP/HTTPS endpoints. Can handle complex nested XML structures and namespaces.

Schema, Data Model

The driver flattens hierarchical XML data into relational tables. Automatic schema generation from XML structure. Support for XPath expressions to define custom tables. Dynamic schema detection based on XML content. Handles XML attributes and nested elements.

Key Objects

XML elements mapped as tables, XML attributes and child elements as columns. Support for repeating elements as separate rows. Access to XML web services and REST APIs returning XML. Can process multiple XML files in a directory.

Operations

SELECT queries with XPath expressions for filtering. INSERT operations to add new XML elements. UPDATE to modify existing XML data. DELETE to remove XML nodes. Support for aggregations on XML data. Stored procedures for XML transformations.

Authentication

Basic authentication for web services. OAuth support for secured APIs. API key authentication. SSL/TLS for secure connections. Windows authentication for network resources.

JDBC Access to XML Files

Full-featured and consistent SQL access to any supported data source through JDBC

  • Certified Compatibility*

    Our drivers undergo extensive testing and are certified to be compatible with leading analytics and reporting applications like SAP Crystal Reports, Pentaho, Business Objects, Crystal Reports and many more.

  • Metadata Discovery

    Full support for JDBC DatabaseMetaData provides extensive schema discovery capabilities. Explore tables, columns, keys, and other data constructs based on user identity.

  • Developer Friendly

    Design-time support for all major Java IDEs, including Eclipse, IntelliJ, and NetBeans.

  • JDBC Remoting

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

  • 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.

  • String, Date, Numeric SQL Functions

    The driver includes a library of over 50 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 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.
