Paradigma Software Inc, the developer of the ultra fast Valentina database system, invites Windows developers to try the new ODBC functionality coming to Paradigma Software’s Valentina development tools. With this new functionality, you will be able to:
ODBC provides a standard for data access among thousands of applications – including most enterprise class databases and most new data intensive applications such as spreadsheets and XML applications that have to integrate or work with business data. Because it is now a very old standard for data exchange, ODBC is not as rich an interface as Valentina API - yet direct ODBC support means a vast world of integration scenarios are now open to you.
“Regardless of the development environment, adding ODBC connectivity to Valentina extends the total solution that Valentina users can offer to their clients - allowing vastly improved integration with critical business tools.” said Ruslan Zasukhin, Vice President of Engineering New Technology.
The Windows version of Valentina ODBC is now available for download from the Paradigma Software website at http://paradigmasoft.com/en/products/download/beta/VODBC. A MacOS X ODBC version is also under development.
Valentina ODBC will be directly supported in Valentina Studio, the visual database browser and easy to use query and administration tool as well as in Valentina Office Server, the business ready database server.
